National Fish Fry Friday ~ First day of Lent (end of feb or beginning of March)
It takes place each year on the first Friday of Lent and is celebrated in Wisconsin, in the Midwest, in the United States, and around the world. On many Friday nights, family and friends gather together for fish frys at establishments like restaurants and bars, and that is what Friday Fish Fry Day is about.
When my Uncle Frank moved to Michigan, he could not believe no one heard of Friday Fish Frys.

German and Polish Catholic immigrants settled in Milwaukee in the 1860s and began the tradition of the Friday fish fry. During Lent, they didn't eat meat on Fridays, instead eating the fish they caught in Lake Michigan.

The Friday Fish Fry is as much a part of the classic Wisconsin diet as beer, brats, and cheese. The tradition started back when European immigrants flocked to places like Milwaukee and adapted their cooking techniques to the local fish in Lake Michigan.
