Fish fries, the famous Friday night feature at restaurants across Wisconsin, are about to become more popular as Lent approaches.
Restaurants across the Fox Cities have already begun to advertise fish fry dinners, with breaded and battered fish and shrimp plates, fish sandwiches and more.
These longstanding businesses have established their reputations for having some of the best fish fry all year round, with some winning multiple awards and nominations for Best of the Valley in the fish fry/broil category.
The following is a list of popularly rated restaurants to visit for a fish fry dinner, and some even serve them any day of the week, not just Friday.
