It’s fish fry time in Northeast Ohio.
The Akron area offers plenty of options for people seeking meat-free dining options on Fridays throughout Lent. You can find fish fries at area churches, clubs, lodges and restaurants. Many offer carryout or drive-thru pickup options.
And if you’re not a fan of fried fish, some places are offering baked fish. A few have other meat-free meals, such as scallops, shrimp, crab cakes, pierogi and salad. Some even have chicken tenders on the menu for the kiddos or those who simply don’t like seafood.
Fish fries take place every Friday during the Lenten season unless otherwise noted.
