NEW ORLEANS — Lent is here, which means fish fry Fridays are back in and around New Orleans.
The seafood plates are sold on Fridays throughout Lent, when many Catholics and other denominations stay away from meat.
Here’s a list of area seafood fries, courtesy the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Do you have a fish fry to add to the list? Send it to news@digital-staging.wgno.com.
