Fish Fry Or Corned Beer And Cabbage: Which Would You Pick?

Why A Fish Fry Is Better

If you look at the Fish Fry, there is nothing better than a beer-battered massive piece of fish overhanging your plate with a couple of sides like coleslaw and mac salad. The thing with the Fish Fry is that it is rare outside of Lent. While some places in Western New York offer them year round usally most places only offer them for 40 days, and that is it. It is the anticipation of Fish Fry season that adds to the allure of the dish. Plus, you can find a great Fish Fry just about anywhere in the 716, from Restaurants, to churches, to VFWs and Firehalls.
