I do lent in a big way by making my rounds to Catholic churches all around town. I have compiled somewhat of an index making note of the quality of the fish sandwich, notable sides, condiments, and how well stocked the cake wheel is. (Questions? Feel free to message me.) I have no affiliation and hence no home team and/or dog in this fight.
This past Friday we tried a new place, St. Mark's on Frankfort Ave. It's in Crescent Hill, right near the library. It was our second time experiencing fried fish "without the guilt" and they did not disappoint. The fish is kind of a beer batter and it's super-crispy and delicious. In fact, everything from the fryer was perfect. The mac and cheese, green beans and slaw were all really good too. However, the standout was a bowl of totally tasty lobster bisque for $3.00. Sure I've had better bisque, but not much better and I paid a lot more money for it. I think a fish dinner ran 8 bucks. Can't beat that.
The folks were very friendly and put out nice tablecloths and everything. Plus, they were selling homemade baked goods for 50 cents a piece. I'm talking HUGE slices of cake and brownies the size of CDs. Personally, I feel guilty just paying for dessert without gambling away $10 worth of dimes but I guess that's just the Catholic in me.
Surprisingly, there weren't a lot of people there. I've stood in line for far inferior fish. Just thought some folks might want to check it out.
