For correction please email editor@buffalospree.com.Buffalo’s love of fish fry is a crispy combination of tradition, community, and pride. Fish fry “season” is rooted in the region’s Catholic heritage; what began as a Lenten practice of abstaining from meat on Fridays has become a cherished local ritual. Every Lenten Friday, churches, fire halls, bars, and restaurants serve up golden brown beer-battered haddock with all the fixings. For Buffalonians, it’s more than a meal; it’s a reason to gather, support local restaurants, and break up the long winter with comforting food and conversation.<h2>Amherst</h2>Brunner’s Tavern3989 Main St., Amherst<h2>Blasdell</h2>Ilio DiPalo's Restaurant 3785 Lake Shore Rd., BlasdellLakeshore Cafe3255 Lake Shore Rd., BlasdellSneaker’s205 Martin Ave., BlasdellFind it on Facebook<h2>Buffalo</h2>Adolf’s Old First Ward Tavern555 South Park Ave., BuffaloFind it on FacebookBailey Seafood3316 Bailey Ave., BuffaloThe Blackthorn2134 Seneca St., BuffaloThe Burning Buffalo1504 Hertel Ave., BuffaloDoc Sullivan’s474 Abbott Rd., BuffaloEddie Brady’s97 Genesee St., BuffaloElmwood Market214 Elmwood Ave., BuffaloThe Fire Spot Restaurant2829 River Rd., BuffaloGene McCarthy’s73 Hamburg St., BuffaloJoe’s DeliMultiple Buffalo locationsParkside Meadow2 Russell St., BuffaloThe Wellington Pub1541 Hertel Ave., BuffaloWiechec’s1748 Clinton St., BuffaloFind it on Facebook<h2>Cheektowaga</h2>Bellevue Hotel544 Como Park Blvd., Cheektowaga<h2>Clarence</h2>Griffon Gastropub5445 Transit Rd., ClarenceHayes Seafood House8900 Main St., Clarence<h2>East Aurora</h2>Griffon Gastropub634 Main St., East AuroraWallenwein’s Hotel641 Oakwood Ave., East AuroraFind it on Facebook<h2>Grand Island</h2>The Beach House5584 E River Rd., Grand Island716-773-7119The Village Inn1488 Ferry Rd., Grand Island<h2>Hamburg</h2>Hoak’s Restaurant4100 Lake Shore Rd., HamburgJP Fitzgerald’s4236 Clark St., HamburgMammoser’s Tavern16 South Buffalo St., HamburgFind it on FacebookRodney’s on the Lake4179 Lake Shore Rd., HamburgCurry’s Pub864 Kenmore Ave., Kenmore<h2>Lancaster</h2>Frank’s Grille5820 Broadway St., LancasterSkoob’s Village Grill50 Central Ave., Lancaster<h2>Lewiston</h2>Brickyard Pub &amp; BBQ432 Center St., LewistonGriffon Gastropub115 South Water St., Lewiston<h2>Lockport</h2>Kith &amp; Kin Bakeshop*5850 Transit Rd., LockportMontondo’s Seafood201 East Ave., LockportWagner’s Restaurant246 Park Ave., Lockport<h2>Niagara Falls</h2>Griffon Gastropub2470 Military Rd., Niagara FallsThe Polish Nook2242 Cudaback Ave., Niagara Falls<h2>North Collins</h2>Josif's Bar &amp; Grill10507 Main St., North CollinsFind it on Facebook<h2>North Tonawanda</h2>Sawyer’s Creek Hotel3264 Niagara Falls Blvd., North TonawandaThe Hideaway Grille399 Division St., North Tonawanda<h2>Orchard Park</h2>Big Tree Inn4277 Abbott Rd., Orchard ParkThe Byrd House4190 North Buffalo Rd., Orchard Park<h2>Tonawanda</h2>Caputi’s Sheridan Pub2351 Sheridan Dr., TonawandaEspo's Catering365 Sommerville Ave., Tonawanda<h2>Williamsville</h2>Buffalo Brew Pub6861 Main St., WilliamsvilleEagle House5578 Main St., WilliamsvilleGlen Park Tavern5507 Main St., WilliamsvilleIrishman Pub5601 Main St., Williamsville<h2>West Seneca</h2>Ebenezer Ale House4348 Seneca St., West SenecaMandy’s Cafe3796 Clinton St., West SenecaFind it on FacebookThe Olive Branch2343 Union Rd., West SenecaolivebranchfamilyThe Overpass Pub2720 Seneca St., West Seneca*Offers gluten-free fish fry</div></body>
