I don't know a lot of people who actually give up meat for Lent, but I do know a lot of people who will use any excuse to eat more fish fry. Personally, I love the tradition, and I don't need to be told twice to eat more fried fish, which is why restaurants offering fish fry on other days of the week makes me happy. No matter your reason, if you're looking for non-Friday fish frys, here's some places to get one.
