Updated for 2026
When Lent rolls around in Lincoln, Friday nights start to smell a whole lot like crispy fried fish. Fish frys are one of the season’s most beloved traditions, with churches and restaurants across town serving up generous plates of fish, fries, coleslaw, and all the fixings. You don’t have to be a member of the hosting church to join in. These dinners are open to the public and known for their warm, welcoming vibe. Whether you’re observing Lent or just chasing a really good fish dinner, Lincoln’s Friday fish frys are well worth adding to your weekend plans.
