Having lived out of state, away from southwestern PA, I took Lenten fish fries for granted. I recall a few times living in other states when I was looking for a fish fry and they were sparse or some people I met hadn’t even heard of a fish fry.
Ever since I moved back to the area, I feel like I want to attend more of them. And sometimes it’s hard to know where to find one.
So here is a list I put together of fish fries in Fayette County for those who might be curious, but not sure where to find one. This information may not be accurate or up to date as these events can change, but it’s a start. I’m sure I’m missing many, so please feel free to contact me to add to the list.
There’s even a separate Facebook page to follow Fayette and Surrounding Area Lenten Fish Fries that may have more information.
