Lent is almost here, which means churches across the city and beyond are sparking up their deep-fryers for fish fry season.
Some fish frys start Friday, but typically they coincide with the official start of Lent on Ash Wednesday, in the lead-up to Easter.
During that time, many people who observe Lent give up eating certain indulgences and forgo eating meat on Friday. Fish is an exception to the no meat rule, thus fish frys spring up all over town.
