'Tis the Lenten Season: So many fish fries, so little time!

You will clearly see that the Binghamton area is FULL of Catholics, of all different ethnicities (Irish, Slovak, Ukrainian, Italian, . . .) During Lent, this apparently makes for some mean competition between all the Friday evening fish fries. Consider tonight's offerings, as listed in the local paper:
