Winner winner also chicken dinner.I worked at a Knights a Columbus fish fry, especially during Lent. Talk about absolute craziness but they were good times. I was in Chicagoland, so pretty much Milwaukee as well. Atlantic cod with vinegar coleslaw and a big slice of bread from the local bakery.

I'm 45 years old and till this day if I am ever back in my Hometown on a Friday or Saturday, I am stopping off there to eat one of my best friends' Mom's coleslaw. She managed the KoC I worked at with him. Took me over twenty years to get the recipe from them.

In my experience, a fish fry is a community dinner/fund raiser where the primary food item is fried fish, but they often have other side dishes and such.

It was common for volunteer fire departments and other community organizations to host them to raise money and provide an opportunity for the neighborhood to come together for a meal.
