Friday Fish Fry Report

This Week: St. Mark’s

A multi-week series highlighting Fish Fries in the Cincinnati area

St. Mark’s Parish is at 3500 Montgomery Road in Evanston. Their Fish Fry ran from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM and took place every Friday during Lent. They served sandwiches and dinners which include fried fish and various sides. Everything is available for dine-in or carry-out and the meal will set you back $7.00 and includes fish, bread, and two sides. Sodas are available for $0.60 and two kinds of cake were available by the slice for $1.00.

I arrived about 5:30 PM in the rain and there was a small group but by the time I left there was a nice, friendly group gathered. The food itself was fantastic. Probably the best fish I had anywhere this lenten season. And the hush puppies and macaroni and cheese were also darn good . . . quite possibly also the best of all the fish fries I’ve been too for those items as well. Oh, and the portions were out of control. I had so much fish I didn’t even get dessert.

So while they didn’t have beer, I will recommend St. Mark’s for the food and I must say other than St. Paul, the people around were also some of the friendliest. It’s nice when someone says hi and asks how you heard about them, etc.
