For those not eating meat on Fridays during Lent, we've found some of the best spots across metro Detroit for a fish fry, some are offering carry-out or drive-thru options this year.

Here are area restaurants, community halls and churches that are serving beer-battered cod, fried shrimp, pierogi and more during Lent.

The weather is a little warmer; the days are a little longer. And the fish is about to fry! Lent begins Wednesday, March 5, and Friday, March 7, should be considered a holiday of its own — First Fish-Fry Friday!
