The best part of lent is that you can find good fish frys all over West Virginia. Since moving to Charleston, I've been trying to figure out where to get my grubby mitts on some good fried fish.

That's when I discovered St. Anthony's fish fry.



This church serves up three different kinds of fish dinners, plus a shrimp/crab cake dinner. You can get a baked fish dinner with green beans, baked potato, cole slaw, roll and drink. Or you can get a regular fish dinner with batter dipped fish OR cajun style OR lightly breaded with hushpuppies, fries, cole slaw and a drink. Or you can get the sampler where you try all three - SO many options.



Of course, I went with a sampler so I could try a little of everything. AND, I got a crab cake on the side.
