This review is the for the church’s Lenten fried fish lunches.
I was walking down M street after work one day and noticed a big sign on the side of St. Vincent De Paul Catholic church announcing that fish fries would be taking place every Friday during Lent.
I was excited to find this tradition in DC as this is a big thing in my hometown in Detroit, Michigan. Churches, VFW Halls, Knights of Columbus Halls, and many other odd venues in addition to restaurants serve fish for Catholics who aren’t supposed to eat meat on Fridays.
For the lunch, patrons walk into the basement cafeteria of the church where they are offered fish dinners (bone-​in or boneless) or fish sandwiches. Fish dinners run $ 9.50 and come with 2 sides and cornbread.
I walked in and was greeted by the friendly church staff. They were very nice and excited to be serving food! I ordered a boneless fish dinner with Mac n’ cheese and ‘meatless’ collard greens. The Mac n’ cheese and greens were fantastic! Very delicious. The fish was ok, UNTIL I bit into a bone. Then another. Then another. Then several more. It really ruined my meal.
All in all, the meal was good and the company was great. Everyone just seemed more jubilant on Friday. But the many bones in my «boneless fish» is the main reason why I am reconsidering returning for another lunch before Lent ends.
