Friday fish fry Suggestions

With the ashes now just a smudge on the pillow, it's time to look for the best places for fish frys. Not restaurants, but Legion Halls, Parish basements, Elks or Moose Lodges .

So what are your favorite places?

The Gaelic League on Michigan Ave. is the best I have ever had. Only Fridays during lent. Theirs is better than I had in England.

East Detroit is right, Sweetest Heart of Mary does a good fish fry also.

Sweetest Heart of Mary is at 4440 Russell on the corner of Russell & Canfield. The parking lot is behind the church. You enter it from Canfield. Once parked, go to the building that looks like a big house. That's where the dinners are served/sold.

Sweetest Heart of Mary is located at Canfield and Russell. South of Warren, east of I-75. You can see the twin spires from the freeway!!

If you go for the fish fry, be sure to stop in the church and take a look at one of the most beautiful churches in our city. The two trancept windows were winners at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago.

On the west side, St. Thomas Aquinas at Ford & Evergreen have them on Fridays from 5-7 pm. Fish, shrimp, mac & cheese, salad, dessert, roll, beverage. I think it's $7.00 for adults & $5.00 for kids.

Seconded, I try to get there every Friday in Lent. Good prices too.

**tarkus** · February-18-10, 09:54 AM

I second Gnomes St. Francis, awesome. A 100 year old Polish Church. It's open for lunch, I don't know about dinner time dinners.

**detroitbob** · February-18-10, 08:18 PM

St. Francis d'Assisi and Sweetest Heart of Mary are both winners...great food.

**DetroitPlanner** · February-18-10, 11:44 PM

Chicks! additional words to allow the post!

**East Detroit** · February-19-10, 04:45 AM

Is the KofC in Hamtramck doing a fish fry this year? We went last year when they were using the St Lads kitchen, but I can't seem to find any information on 2010.

It was really good food, very nice people.

Every time I see threads like this, I try not to read them but can't resist and end up with a terminal case of the munchies!

**tarkus** · February-19-10, 01:31 PM

Just got back from St. Francis of Assisi's fish fry lunch. $8 for fish, coleslaw, beverage, bread, and dessert. Plenty of ambiance

and very good fish.

**darwinism** · February-23-10, 10:21 AM

The Archdiocese of Detroit website usually has a comprehensive listing, but this year's list appear to be rather short.

**SWMAP** · February-23-10, 10:26 AM

I also stopped by [[first time) St. Francis last Friday. I was very impressed. The fish was great. Lots of sides. Sweet old people doing all the work. An image of old Detroit, for sure - almost entirely lost, now.
