Lent is great for Northeast Ohioans because even if you don't celebrate, you can still get a delicious fried fish dinner out of it. There are a ton of bars and restaurants that partake in the tradition, offering typical fried fish dinners like perch, cod and walleye with fries and slaw on Friday nights. Some places get a bit more creative and try to modernize the fish fry while others offer the special daily instead of just Fridays. Whether you want to stick to tradition or venture out of your comfort zone, you should definitely partake in the fish fry at one of these spots.
