Lent fish fry in Philadelphia?

Is there anywhere in Philadelphia that offers a good fish fry for the Lenten season? Center City area would be ideal, but we are open to any options... Thanks

    YEAH!
    We always wish for a good reasonable fish place esp one that does a Fri fish fry....just doesnt seem to be.

    Kinda like trying to find a nice "American" food restaurant with a decent ambiance and reasonable price. Seems like its either a diner or $30 entree.

    My guess is Pasta and Rice are more profitable.

      Not a fish fry, but the South Philly Tap Room almost always has a fish entree on special for $15 or so, and they do a great, sometimes spectacular, job. Not fine dining, but definitely a step up from a diner.

      The only place I know of is the hibernean hall in Hamilton, NJ. I wrote about it on the NJ board.
      It's good. It's VERY good and a lot of fun!
