Fish Fry Guide 2013: Where to Go in the Cranberry Area

Everything you need to know about fish frys across the region.

Lent started Feb. 13, and many people will abstain from eating meat products on Fridays—or through the entire season, which ends March 30, the Saturday before Easter. 

To help those home cooks—and encourage a sense of community in the effort—local churches and other organizations are offering the traditional weekly fish frys. 

Below is a listing of where and when you can purchase dinners and sandwiches—whether you're celebrating Lent or just looking for a yummy meal.
