There’s a sea of fish fries to choose from in the next few months
Deep fryers across the Miami Valley will be firing up in the next several months as fish fry season kicks into high gear.
This is a crispy time of year that spotlights flaky, moist fish in a sea of community events that pack the house.
In addition to being one of the best cold-weather meals out there, a solid fish fry is unquestionably one of the best dini ngdealsto be found in the early part of each year. Most typically cost around $15-$20 per person for an all-you-can-eat extravaganza of deep-fried walleye, haddock, sole, perch and cod — depending on the menu.
And then there are the sides: fries, coleslaw, mac and cheese, green beans, hush puppies, desserts … the list of accompanying options cans ometimes compete with the main course for attention.
As an added bonus, there are usually several games of chance to choose from, along with the satisfying feeling that comes with knowing your money goes to benefit a good cause in the community.
There are many destinations in town that have fish fries, but here are some of the best opportunities in the next few months.
