Linh's first fish fry

Hi. I'm not Catholic. I do love fried fish (looking at you, Culver's.)

• So, when my friend asked if I wanted to eat at Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Church last Friday, I was all in.

State of play: If you're wondering where everyone is on Friday nights, they're all waiting in line at their local fish fry.

• For $15, you got fried pollock, fried shrimp, baked salmon, pizza, a baked potato, fries, coleslaw and macaroni and cheese. Plus, there were drinks and desserts.

My thought bubble: Everyone was nice! Boy Scouts kept hocking cupcakes at me! (Guess what, it worked.)

If you go: 5:30-7pm at St. Francis of Assisi, $15 for ages 12+ and $5 for kids.

• Also, any Catholic church near you likely will have something similar!
