Dayton’s 2020 Fish Fry Guide

By

This weekend marks the official beginning of Fish Fry Season in Dayton!

Dayton came by its fish fry tradition many years ago.  Many of the European settlers who flocked to the Gem City  and many of those immigrants were Catholic, and the tradition of foregoing the consumption of meat on Fridays made the fish fry a natural evolution.

The fish fry tradition developed even further during the Prohibition era, when fish fries became a way for former alcohol-purveying establishments to stay in business. Many went so far as to conceal their illicit speakeasies beneath the intoxicating aroma of frying fish, offering free or low-cost fish to those who imbibed.

As time moved forward, fish fries became an easy way to avoid meat while enjoying a night out and eating affordably. The tradition grew from there, providing Dayton families an opportunity to go out to dinner without breaking the bank.

Many places in town have fish fries and after much searching, asking and eating, here are some of the best places in the city to catch a fish fry. You’ll also notice Fish Frys aren’t just on Friday anymore!

And, as always, if we’ve forgotten your favorite, please share it with others by posting a comment below or emailing us.

1) GEORGE’S FAMILY RESTAURANT:
5216 N Dixie Dr, Dayton
$9.00 gets you Endless Pollack fish, fries and cole slaw offered year round on Fridays all day. A great deal!  The fish is amazing and the servers are very attentive on refills.  The fish filets are crispy and medium sized.  They are seasoned and breaded perfectly and delicious.  The diner’s atmosphere is a fun casual joint with oldies music.  WARNING: this Fish Fry only lasts from 4pm to 8pm and sells out sometimes.  We would suggest you get there not later than 5pm to avoid a sellout.

4) K.J.’S RESTAURANT:
35 W Center St, Germantown
This Germantown restaurant features all you can eat farm raised ocean catfish,  swai, 2 sides, for $9.99.  What a price!  The catfish is rumored to be nice and flaky and not “fishy.”  This special is also available every Friday. We have talked to the owners of the restaurant, and we can’t wait to check this one out !  They say it is very popular. The buzz is that the fish is great and that customers love it so much, they keep coming back for more.

The Insiders Guide to Dayton’s FISH FRY Season 2018

By 1 Comment

“The season has officially started.  Dayton has the best “Fish Fry Season” around! When you hear “fish fry”, the words “boring” or “dull” may come to mind.  Well let me tell you something…Dayton fish fries are nothing of the sort!  Traditionally, fish fries were held on Fridays during the season of Lent as we Catholics don’t eat meat on those days.  However, with the many Catholic parishes/schools and other organizations out there, and the amazing popularity of fish fries, they have expanded to Fridays outside of Lent as well.  At a typical fish fry, you will be able to experience an amazing evening full of fish, chips (fries really), beer, silent auctions, black jack, poker, and much more!  Plus, the cost you pay is significantly less than the amount you would spend on a night out on the town…and it supports a good cause!  So, regardless of whether you are Catholic or not, definitely make a point to “catch” at least one or more of these great fish fries this season.“

The above was the intro to MostMetro’s very first fish fry round up, originally put together by Jane Krebs and it keeps getting bigger every year.  Jane has moved on to other endeavors but we’ve kept up the tradition she started and you can find the area’s most comprehensive  FISH FRY FINDER HERE.  It’s always a work in progress, as many of the area church’s don’t have their their dates out yet ( St Peter, St. Paul, Holy Angles – talk to us!).  So keep checking back for additions, and if you know of one we’ve missed, drop us a comment below. 

St Christophers in Englewood is our #2 favorite

Food Adventures then gives you the in depth scoop on each and every fish fry.  How do we know?  Because we actually go to each one and support the causes each and every year!  NO ONE else breaks down 35 Dayton area fish frys like The Food Adventures Crew … join us…We list the TOP SEASONAL FISH FRYS, and also offer a short list of the BEST RESTAURANT FISH FRYS.

So, cast your nets, throw your bait in the water and see what you can catch this fish fry season !!  We even have scoop on a “Do it yourself Fish Fry”at home !  Read this article and be the smartest fish in your school.  Must be 21 to attend, except for the fish frys that are family events.

Desserts are often a part of admission like this Peanut Butter Sheet Cake from Our Lady of the Rosary

 

Now Food Adventures turns to the best fish frys.  The ones who give you best bang for your buck and maybe not the long lines of other fish frys.  Must be 21 to attend, except for the fish frys that are family events.

 

THE BEST 15 CHARITY FISH FRYS:

—1. ST MARY’S FISH FRY: FRI. FEB 3 at 6pm
310 Allen St, Dayton
All you can eat dinner in the basement of the church.  There is a fun circus atmosphere for the raffle prizes and of course the casino games.  This is one of the best bangs for your buck.  The cost is $15 and you get fish dinner with all the trimmings.  You can buy beers on draft for about 50 cents.  And a dessert table for extra $1 per item will knock your Aunt Connie’s socks off.  Short lines, nice volunteers and a comfortable atmosphere.

Games of chance like this dice game at Holy Trinity are common

—2. OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY FISH FRY: FRI. Feb 10 at 6pm
22 Notre Dame Ave.  Dayton
This is our old #1 fish fry.  It is still the best, but the secret is out and the lines are long.  Take advantage of their multiple dates and get there early.  $17 gets you endless food and beer, they don’t nickel and dime you here.  This is a fun, laid back party. All you can eat Icelandic cod, chicken strips, fresh sausage (hot and regular), French fries, salad, cole slaw, cabbage and noodles, chocolate cake, apple crisp, popcorn, beer and soft drinks, and Chef Joseph, you get us with that peanut butter sheet cake every year.  Talk about religious experience… but the cat is out of the bag on this secret, so get there early or the line will be around the cafeteria, but the fish here is different than any other.
