Here's where to get your fish and chips in the New Bedford area.
It's almost Lent which means it’s time for the long-standing Catholic tradition of not eating meat on Fridays for the next 40 days. With 14% of the population participating in Lent there will be a lot of seafood to eat and enjoy between Ash Wednesday, March 2 to Good Friday, April 15. For many, the go-to meal is fish and chips, luckily in the SouthCoast, we have numerous places serving it up hot and crispy.
Whether you like cod or haddock, dry or beer-battered, fish now is the time to try them all out without any guilt at all. There are 7 Fridays to go out and try different fish and chips from all around the SouthCoast area. Are you wondering where to go to get the best dish this Lent? We’ve compiled a list of some local favorites that are sure to make you not miss eating meat.
