Fish fries
Community fish fries are popular in the southern region of the United States. These social gatherings may center
around a church, a civic organization or serve as a fundraiser for a club, volunteer fire department, a school or other
organization. In the U.S., especially the Upper Midwest, the Northeast, and the Mid-Atlantic states, community fish
fries are somewhat popular, sometimes held in church basements or lots in observation of Lent. A fish fry is generally
informal. A "shore lunch" is a tradition in the northern U.S. and Canada, where outdoor enthusiasts cook their catch
on the shores of the ocean, or lake where the fish was caught.
