#13: Fish Fry Fridays
From church basements to restaurants to VFW halls, Friday fish fries used to be a cornerstone of American life. Originally associated with Catholic meat restrictions during Lent, these weekly gatherings evolved into year-round social events where crispy battered fish brought people of all faiths together for a good meal. While Friday night fish fries died out in many areas, the tradition lives on in the Midwest and parts of the Northeast.
