A whole month of Lent is still ahead of us. Between now and March 30, we want to help you find your way to the nearest fish fry in the south suburbs.
The map above has been updated since it was first posted in February. Use it and click on any of the red markers. A window will pop up with details about that fish fry, supplied by the organizers of the event.
Double-click on the map to zoom in, or use the slider on the left to zoom in or out. If you click on the map, you can drag it around to see specific parts of the region.
- Want to add your group's fish fry to our map? Visit this page and submit the information we need to tell your story.
An Associated Press article published in USA Today called fish frys "a timeworn Catholic tradition that provides a safe haven from divides that have long roiled the U.S. church, a place where traditionalist Catholics, progressive Catholics and everyone in between can sit peacefully at the same plastic tablecloth."

The New Lenox American Legion has a fish fry on Fridays now too. It is delicious and has options not found at other fish frys in the area.
