when: fridays, from 5pm to 7pm, through the end of
lent. (easter is april 12 this year.)
where: the basement of
st. mary's church, on k street across from the capitol building.
what: the best fried fish anywhere.
i was thrilled to remember this from years past. every friday during lent, st. mary's has a
fish fry... and i'm serious that it's the best fried fish i've ever had.
it's seven dollars for dinner. you choose one of the following: baked cod, tuna noodle casserole, macaroni and cheese, or two big tasty pieces of deep-fried
pollock! then you choose tater tots or baked potato. they offer you cole slaw and bread and pickles. you'll see all the condiments you would expect. there's a dessert table with individually priced items on the other side of the room.
they offer cafeteria-style service and seating. if you eat there, you might look into the all-you-can eat option. if i remember right, it's eleven dollars and sounds dangerous.
