CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — As the Lenten season begins tomorrow with Ash Wednesday, churches across the Coastal Bend are inviting residents to gather for a beloved tradition — the Lenten fish fry. The events serve as both a community gathering and a fundraiser for parish needs, drawing people from all walks of life to share a meal while observing the season’s customs.
From Corpus Christi to Robstown, Mathis, Orange Grove, Ingleside, Alice, and beyond, parish kitchens and volunteers are ready to serve fried fish plates, often paired with classic sides like coleslaw, corn, or green beans.
Organizers encourage attendees to arrive early as plates often sell out quickly. Many churches are offering both dine-in and drive-thru options to accommodate busy schedules.
Here’s a list of local fish fries starting tomorrow, February 18:
