In this episode of Arch Eats, George Mahe and Cheryl Baehr dive into the vibrant culture of fish fries in St. Louis during the Lenten season, highlighting how this tradition has evolved. Discover some the most popular fish fries across town, as well as where to go for less common fish fry offerings, such as hush puppies, spaghetti, falafel, hummus, tacos, chile rellenos, and more. The hosts share fun experiences at these gatherings, including church tours led by grade schoolers, priests moonlighting as bartenders, and more. And beyond parish fish fries, get recommendations for notable fish-centric Lenten specials at local restaurants. Listen, follow, and review Arch Eats on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever podcasts are available.
