Lent began this week for most Christians. In many denominations, that means the devout are to abstain from meat or chicken on Fridays until Easter, which this year is April 4.
But there are plenty of places these next few weeks in the Peoria area to indulge in fish, instead. Overindulge, perhaps.
In addition to the usual places that offer fish all the time, limited-time fish frys abound. Many Catholic churches and fraternal service organizations sponsor them.
How has COVID-19 affected the Friday-night fish fry?
Alas, one of the more popular Lenten fish frys in Peoria won t be held this year. Blame COVID-19, again.
