fish fries
Breaded catch events
Fish fries are social gatherings centered on fried fish, typically held by churches, community organizations, or fire departments as fundraisers.
Common in the American Midwest and South, they feature battered and fried fish—often catfish or cod—served with sides like coleslaw and hush puppies.
The church holds a fish fry every Friday during Lent.
