Lent is here and that means Fish Fry season is here in Western New York.

When you think of fish fries in Western New York, you think of a massive piece of fish that hangs over the plate along with mac salad or fries.

But what about something a little unorthodox for this Friday Fish Fry. Check out this very unique fish fry that is sold at Bloomfield's Pub in Depew.

According to the owner Tom, this is how fish fries were sold back in the day, as Fish and chips. They were served as fish nuggets and came with three different types of side salads, coleslaw, and a potato dish like fries.

Bloomfield's wanted to do something different and decided to go with a more "old world" fish and chips style fish fry instead of the typical one you would get in Western New York.

The fish fry from Bloomfield's comes with 13 Yuengling beer battered fish nuggets, steak fries, coleslaw, mac salad, potato salad, and a German potato salad.

Take a look at it...it looks very good.
