\u00a0I have done some research and here are a few of the top rated Fish Fry&#8217;s in the area:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Sweetest Heart of Mary Church &#8211;\u00a0This Fish Fry goes from 3pm &#8211; 8pm every Friday in Lent (aka from now until Easter). \u00a0Dinners include, Fried Fish, Baked Fish, Fried Shrimp, Mac-N-Cheese, French Fries, Baked Potatoes, Pierogi dinners and Fried Pickles (aka &#8211; lots of options). \u00a0When I went, they were also doing tours of the church, which is beautiful and definitely worth checking out!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/challengedetroit.org\/courtneyhardebeck\/files\/2015\/03\/sweetestes-heart-of-mary.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-83\" src=\"http:\/\/challengedetroit.org\/courtneyhardebeck\/files\/2015\/03\/sweetestes-heart-of-mary-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"sweetestes heart of mary\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gaelic League &#8211; 2068 Michigan Ave &#8211; 5-8PM. \u00a0In addition to serving Fish dinners for only $8, there is also live music on Friday nights!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>St. Francis D&#8217;Assisi Church in Detroit &#8211; 11am &#8211; 6pm &#8211; another highly rated Fish Fry in the area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Fraternal Order of Eagles &#8211; 5640 Maybee Road, Clarkston MI &#8211; This one is a bit of a drive from Detroit, but they serve 2 kinds of fish (Cod and Halibut) and you get all you can eat for only $9!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are only a few of the Fish Fry&#8217;s in the area. \u00a0I strongly recommend checking one or two of them out. \u00a0The volunteers who work them are usually very friendly and the communal atmosphere makes for fun conversations with new friends.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/challengedetroit.org\/courtneyhardebeck\/files\/2015\/03\/FishFry-e1425176782786.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those of you who don&#8217;t know, Lent is a time when many Christians prepare for Easter through fasting and spiritual exercise. \u00a0Another feature of the Lenten season is the arrival of Fish Fry&#8217;s. \u00a0Having gone to a Catholic School my entire life, Fish Fry&#8217;s were a pretty significant part of my childhood. &nbsp; In [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":87,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12175","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/challengedetroit.builtrare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/challengedetroit.builtrare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/challengedetroit.builtrare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/challengedetroit.builtrare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/87"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/challengedetroit.builtrare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12175"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/challengedetroit.builtrare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12175\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/challengedetroit.builtrare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/challengedetroit.builtrare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/challengedetroit.builtrare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
