It’s Fish Fry Friday! Here’s where to get a meal in Butler, Warren and Preble counties

Plates of fried fish and sides are delivered at the Allegheny Elks Lodge #339 during their annual fish fry on the first night of Lent, in Pittsburgh, on Friday, Feb. 24, 2023. Fish fries have been a longtime Catholic tradition in Western Pennsylvania but increased in popularity in 1966 after the Second Vatican Council announced that not eating meat on Fridays was optional, except during Lent. Today they are held anywhere, from churches to fire stations to restaurants. (AP Photo/Jessie Wardarski)
