As the Lenten season kicks off, churches and organizations throughout the Mahoning Valley are gearing up for the time-honored tradition of the Friday fish fry. Options are plentiful — and COVID-19 safe, with many places opting for carryout only. This year, we rounded up more than 30 places that host a weekly Lenten fish fry or food sale.
