MINNEAPOLIS--The Friday night fish fry is a Lenten season tradition that used to create some challenges for anyone looking to abstain from eating meat. However, in recent years, this hasn't been much of a problem thanks to a growing number of places serving up fish on Friday's. Around the Twin Cities, diners have their pick from churches and VFW's to restaurants. Here are a few that we found.
