Wow! Ending the season with a huge win. Weiss Baking Company in Goshen was a change of pace in terms of Fish Fry Friday! A different setting, different style, but still some amazing food for the last Friday of Lent. The cod was impossibly crispy, the bang-bang shrimp were perfectly sweet and spicy, and the mac and cheese??? Indescribable. Lots of variety here, fun drink menu, plenty of fresh desserts, and parmesean crusted red potatoes that I would label "EXTREMELY crusted." So much food we brought an entire meal home. Absolutely 100% cannot wait to get back here to explore the brunch menu with friends.

Venturing out to the outskirts of Dayton to try out Ascension's fish fry! This was a one night only fish fry and was excellent! They loaded up the plate with fish and even threw in a baked fish as well! Not sure if the tartar sauce was homemade or not, but it was delicious! The sides were limited to fries and coleslaw. Otherwise overall worth a visit (next year at least). Grab a beer in line, peruse the raffle table, or grab a split the pot ticket when you visit!

We really lucked out on our week 3 pick! We came upon a Fish Fry in Mt. Carmel. Mt. Carmel Social Club doesn’t need our accolades. They have a very well run fish fry. The food was made to perfection! The Fried Cod was one if our favorites we've had. Perfectly crispy! The mac and cheese was delicious. And the hush puppies!!! Everyone in line was talking about them and they lived up to the hype! DELICIOUS! There was a wonderful selection of homemade desserts. Very fun and nice people in attendance, we had a nice time taking to the other people at our table. There was an interesting raffle of a large cooler filled with bottles of bourbon! All the volunteers were very nice and helpful.
My. Carmel Social Club is definitely a Fish Fry you will want to try!

Week 2 of the 2025 Fish Fry season took us to visit Nativity School in Pleasant Ridge. Right as you approach the line you are walking past the Fry Station and are greeted with the great smell of a good fish fry! The fish was lightly battered and perfectly seasoned. Each meal comes with 2 pieces of fish, 2 sides and coleslaw. The side choices were Mac & Cheese, Fries and Green Beans.The meal was good but you have to get to this Fish Fry early as they cut off the line when running low on fish.

Kicking off the 2025 Fish Fry season with a classic! St. Margaret of York Catholic Church (SMOY) consistently exceeds our expectations every season and we always look forward to our annual visit. This year we were given a behind the scenes tour from Kami Hampton Bachman, the Fish Boss. Kami was absolutely lovely and showed us where all the fun stuff happens- from prepping the coleslaw to the fry tent itself! This is where they were actually batter dipping the fish and straight into the fryers! So many cheerful volunteers in front and behind the scenes making this Fish Fry what it is: Consistent, Family Friendly, and SUPER Delicious!
