Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Church - Beloit - Friday Night Fish Fry
This entry was posted on 10/28/2011 1:30 AM and is filed under Church Dinners, Friday Night Fish Fry.
Always on the prowl for fish frys other than "tavern," one such option came to my attention recently that involved Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Church in Beloit, Wisconsin. You will find them around the corner from where the Minor League baseball Snapper's play. It is a typical Catholic campus construct. The night in question I found myself in a large building on their complex, in a roomy basement-esque area.
The fish fry consisted of tender lightly breaded Cod. I grabbed the French fry option - they were large cut. You could also choose a baked potato. Fresh thick white bread came with the deal. The cole slaw was just crispy enough for my palate.
I topped off my meal with coffee which was served to me at the table. The final decadence was a coconut/butterscotch/cream cake - homemade of course.
