| If you can't eat meat today, go fishing ... |
The first Friday in Lent officially kicks off the church fish-fry season in the Kansas City metro, and, no matter what your religious affiliation, these modestly priced meals -- fish, shrimp or some other meatless alternative (usually, but not always, available for diners who don't care for seafood) -- can be a cost-effective way to take a family out to eat.
For the last several years, Fat City has listed the area churches offering these meatless meals. If you have additional questions (directions, prices), we suggest contacting them directly.
