Fish frys are very common in the midwest. This is especially true for predominantly Catholic communities on Fridays during Lent , when Regulations calling for abstaining from most meat products are in effect. Beer-battered Haddock fish fry is one of the trademark local cuisines of Buffalo, New York , along with chicken wings, beef on weck, and Buffalo-style pizza. The majority of restaurants in the Buffalo area serve fish fry on Friday, even outside of Lent , and it's often available throughout the week. SOUTHEASTERN U.S. SOCIAL/FAMILY EVENT In the southeastern portion of the United States, a fish fry is a family or social gathering, held outdoors or in large halls. At a typical fish fry, quantities of freshwater fish (such as bream, catfish, and bass) available locally are battered and deep fried in cooking oil. The batter usually consists of corn meal, milk or buttermilk, and seasonings. In addition to the fish, hushpuppies (deep fried, seasoned corn dumplings), and cole slaw are served. These events are often potluck affairs, with many or all participants bringing side dishes, beverages, desserts, or otherwise contributing to the event. |
