Fish fry season is upon us and there are there is plenty of discussion about where to go as usual. Beyond being delicious the neighborhood fish fry is great for the community. It brings people together and gives the community a sense of pride, as strange as that may sound. Certain fish fries project the culture of their parishes or communities in a big way.

Driving down Russell a couple of weeks ago I noticed that the Serbian Church in McKinley Heights is having fish fries this year as well.
