Western New York's 10 Best Places For Fish Fries

It's that time of year again. The time when every Friday is dedicated to going out and wolfing down a fish fry from your favorite establishment. Here are 10 places where Western New Yorkers love to get their fish.

Fish Fries are a Western New York tradition

People in Western New York have been going out for fish fries for decades now. It's a tradition that has become popular with people who are trying to abstain from eating meat on Fridays, a practice that Catholics have upheld for a very long time.

There are really three types of people when it comes to fish fry. There are the people who only get fish fries every now and then. There are people who go out to the same place every week because they know it's good. Then, there are people who just love to try new places because they are trying to decide what the best place is.

Fish Fries aren't just judged on the fish

Sure, some people would prefer haddock over cod, or vice versa. Some people will only go to the places where the fish overlap the entire plate and there's still not enough room for it. But there are plenty of people who judge the fish fry on the sides that come with it. Give me some mac salad, german potato salad, and a little cole slaw and I'm a happy guy. But there are so many options out there, you could try a different combination every week and never have the same meal twice.
