They were HUGE where I was growing up, and I'm so glad to be in a city where they're a thing again. I personally prefer sides of mac and cheese with my fish....mmmmm :) We went to a few last year, but to be honest, I was bummed at the quality. Must. Find. Good. Fish! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fish-frys-big-where-you-live#post-1469540 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:38:58 +0000 meredithNYC 1469540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my hometown (Midwest)- yes, during Lent. Not sure if they're a thing where we are now (NE). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fish-frys-big-where-you-live#post-1469523 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:33:18 +0000 travelgirl1 1469523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. But I grew up in the UK and fish and chips shops are a huge part of the culture all year round. It's quite common to pop to the chippy on a Friday. I miss it sooo bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fish-frys-big-where-you-live#post-1469496 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:26:13 +0000 blackbird 1469496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HUGE.

Yumm! They are not so common where I am now though a lot of restaurants serve fried fish w/ all the fixins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fish-frys-big-where-you-live#post-1469284 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 11:43:56 +0000 matador84 1469284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope but I live in the Bible Belt. The chick Fil a here is run by Catholics and they serve fish sandwiches during lent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fish-frys-big-where-you-live#post-1469268 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 11:39:03 +0000 HabesBabe 1469268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not around these parts as far as I know (southern California), but I do enjoy the cheap Filet-o-Fish during this time of year ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fish-frys-big-where-you-live#post-1469160 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 11:09:27 +0000 Alivoo01 1469160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of restaurants add fish items to their menu during lent, but for actual fish fry, I only see them in much smaller towns (like where our shop is). I love it!! So yummy!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fish-frys-big-where-you-live#post-1469082 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 10:46:04 +0000 mrskc 1469082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: @locavore_mama: lol ok. I guess where I'm at (California) as far as I know we just call it fish and chips. And many places serve it up with coleslaw too. There are restaurants in my town that serve it 7 days a week and if you go to the coast many places have fish and chips on the menu. </p> <p>@HLK208: wow $20 for fish tacos? whoa! I love fish tacos! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fish-frys-big-where-you-live#post-1469061 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 10:40:44 +0000 HLK208 1469061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Rainbow Sprinkles doesn't? Hmm, my family is from the Bay Area so we know fish tacos. Anywhere that claims they have the best around here, are usually $20 for one taco and have been far from the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fish-frys-big-where-you-live#post-1469050 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 10:38:13 +0000 mrsjyw 1469050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: yah, it's around year round, esp at the hole in the wall places that are reallllllllly good. but during lent, EVERYONE and their mom around here offers fish fry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fish-frys-big-where-you-live#post-1469031 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 10:32:12 +0000 regberadaisy 1469031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: HAHA same concept! We had fish &amp; chips in London and it's pretty much the same! We just call it a fish fry around here. ;) Also fish &amp; chips is just battered fish and French fries. But fish fry usually comes with coleslaw, potato salad or macaroni salad as well with tartar sauce. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fish-frys-big-where-you-live#post-1469025 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 10:30:13 +0000 cascademom 1469025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: It depends upon where you go. In the Midwest, fish frys are common year round. Other cities and churches might only do them during Lent. For me, fish frys are a Friday thing growing up in Milwaukee. When I moved to Chicago, I noticed that most restaurants only do them during Lent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fish-frys-big-where-you-live#post-1469016 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 10:28:01 +0000 cascademom 1469016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: haha, that's the hotel we stayed for our honeymoon!</p> <p>In terms of fish frys, they're huge in the Midwest, more Milwaukee than Chicago. I live for them. When I would visit my parents solo or pre-baby, I got excited to get in on a Friday night to have a fish fry. For the midwest, the fish fry is usually haddock, fries, and rye bread. I love the rye bread to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fish-frys-big-where-you-live#post-1469009 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 10:26:49 +0000 mrskc 1469009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm confused. How is it different than fish and chips? Is it that restaurants don't normally serve it except during lent and on Fridays?? I so don't know anything about this fish fry thing. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fish-frys-big-where-you-live#post-1468983 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 10:18:21 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1468983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in Wisconsin and most restaurants have fish frys every Friday, year-round. I grew up in Missouri, and they only had fish frys during lent. </p> <p>@locavore_mama: The picture you posted is what most of the fish frys around here look like. Usually cod, perch, or walleye, choice of potato (fries, baked potato, potato casserole, etc), Cole slaw, bread and butter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fish-frys-big-where-you-live#post-1468963 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 10:12:55 +0000 regberadaisy 1468963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: yum! I Love fish tacos! How do you know what a fish taco is but @rainbow sprinkles doesn't?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fish-frys-big-where-you-live#post-1468951 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 10:09:29 +0000 HLK208 1468951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in the PNW so in general, there are tons of seafood restaurants and I think most do a fish &amp; chips special on Fridays. Yum. I'm still searching for the best fish tacos though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fish-frys-big-where-you-live#post-1468887 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 09:50:07 +0000 avivoca 1468887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are so many fish frys in the area this time of year that you can't escape the smell of fish on Fridays (which, I almost spelled Frydays). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fish-frys-big-where-you-live#post-1468863 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 09:43:47 +0000 regberadaisy 1468863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: maybe a Great Lakes thing??? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fish-frys-big-where-you-live#post-1468862 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 09:42:44 +0000 mrsjyw 1468862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, huge around her during lent </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fish-frys-big-where-you-live#post-1468860 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 09:42:19 +0000 LemonLong 1468860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not where I currently live, but huge in my hometown in Northern WI. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fish-frys-big-where-you-live#post-1468768 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 09:16:02 +0000 BKCaribBaby 1468768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only heard of this in Buffalo.
