Posted By: How May I Help You NC on March 07, 2019 Lent is under way, and that means fish fries and Lenten restaurant specials are popping up everywhere. Around the metro area, plenty of churches (especially Catholic) and fraternal organizations such as the Knights of Columbus have fish fries. Prices are generally reasonable and most benefit programs offered by the churches and organizations. Restaurants ramp it up, too, with Lenten dinners and fish specials on Fridays, when many diners are avoiding meat. Here's a sampling of what to expect.
