Sharon United Methodist Church Lenten fish fry: behind the scenes

While most people were enjoying the warm(er) weather last Friday, many residents were at the Sharon United Methodist Church on Pleasant Lake Road in Sharon Township prepping for the first Friday fish fry.
The fish fry dinner, which takes place each Friday during Lent (except for Good Friday) is a tradition predominantly done by Roman Catholic groups, since the eating of red meat and poultry is forbidden on Fridays during the season (Interestingly enough, it's a common occurrence year-round in Wisconsin).
Everyone knows fried fish is tasty, but what does it take to prep the meal? Here are some behind-the-scenes photos from the prep work done last week.

And the fish fry isn't the only Lenten meal taking place in Manchester this year. Each Thursday, St. Mary's Catholic Church will be hosting a loaded baked potato dinner at the church. What types of foods do you commonly eat during Lent?
