COLUMBUS (WCMH) — It’s that time of the year for those delicious fish fries!
The Catholic Times has put together its annual list of all the best places to get fish during Lent. Most Catholics abstain from eating meat on each Friday leading up to Easter, so most of the locations below are on Fridays.
We’ve also included the top five restaurants NBC4 voters chose last year for Lent. You’ll find them at the bottom of the list.
Have a favorite place that’s not on the list? Let us know on our NBC4 Facebook page! You can also print out a list of the locations below by clicking/tapping here.
