YUM! Fish Fry season opens in North County
Shannon Howard | Feb 22, 2012 | Comments 6
Lent is here once again, NOCO fans, and you know what that means….fish fry time! Most of North County’s Catholic parishes are running fish fries again this year, along with several other churches and organizations. This is not a comprehensive list but it definitely includes the area’s best. If you know a fish fry that I left out, please add it to the comments.
Adult meal prices vary from $6.50 to $9, and may or may not include drink & dessert…
St. Ferdinand: 1735 Charbonier, 63031, 3-7:30pm
This granddaddy of NoCo fish fries, which the parish has been running for 40 years, is open year-round and always draws a huge crowd. The fish is excellent; the seamless assembly line is even more impressive! Open today for Ash Wednesday. Fried and Cajun catfish, fried and baked cod, shrimp, chicken, pie and more
Our Lady of Guadalupe: 1115 S. Florissant Rd, 63135, 4-8pm
If you like your fish with a Mexican twist, try this fish fry, which draws on the parish’s large Hispanic congregation. Fried cod, baked tilapia, fish tacos, shrimp, guacamole, clam chowder, baked apples, mac & cheese and quesadillas
Sacred Heart: 751 N. Jefferson, 63031, 4-7pm
Now in its second year, Sacred Heart’s fish fry is gaining quite a following. Open today for Ash Wednesday. Baked fish, fried fish, fried shrimp, mac and cheese, coleslaw, applesauce, french fries, green beans, salad and more
St. Rose Philippine Duchesne: 3500 St. Catherine, 63033, 4-7pm
I’ve gotten LOTS of emails touting the tastiness of this fish fry. Fried Alaskan cod, poppy seed coleslaw, clam chowder, French fries, green beans & hush puppies
American Legion #444: 17090 Old Jamestown, 63034, 4-7pm
Open since January, this fish fry offers a serene setting in the woods! Fish by the pound, plate or sandwich, plus spaghetti, baked beans, coleslaw and hush puppies
Holy Trinity: 3500 St. Luke, 63074, 4-7pm
Another parish with a growing Hispanic congregation, this fish fry used to feature handmade chile rellenos! I’m not sure they’ll be back this year but the menu is pretty extensive nonetheless. Grilled salmon, fried and baked cod, grilled cheese, fried catfish, grilled and fried shrimp, spaghetti, mac & cheese and applesauce
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta: 1050 Smith Ave, 63135, 4-7pm
Drive-thru service is the big draw here, but you can also eat in. I’ve enjoyed this fish fry many times. Open today for Ash Wednesday. Cod, shrimp, catch of the day, two soups, pizza and more
Holy Name of Jesus: 10235 Ashbrook Dr, 63137, 3:30-6:30pm
The former St. Jerome parish supposedly serves up very good fish. Open today for Ash Wednesday. Baked or fried cod, spaghetti, green beans, coleslaw and French fries
Knights of Columbus #2951: 50 St. Francois, 63031, 3:30-7pm
The menu is simple but these guys are old pros, running their fish fry year round. Battered cod, jumbo shrimp, spaghetti, mac & cheese, green beans
Florissant General Baptist Church: 424 Graham Road, 63031, 4-7pm
Generosity is a core value at this church, where you’ll also find the Gospel Garage. That’s probably why $9 gets you all you can eat at their fish fry. Catfish, cod, chicken, hush puppies, fries, green beans, coleslaw & dessert

Don’t forget Zion Lutheran Church on Carson Road, Ferguson. Their Fish Frys last all summer-outside.

I agree with Jane. Zion Lutheran is great. In the summer, they used to have an “oldster” playing keyboards and sometimes you’d see some dancers. A fun atmosphere and great food.
