The definitive guide to Omaha fish frys
Welcome to Fish Fry Season in Omaha. Yeah, I’m capitalizing that. It’s a big deal.
Each Friday between Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, thousands of Omahans flock to their local parish (or return to the parish for the first time since the last Fish Fry Season) to indulge in a simple tradition: fried food and beer. And you know, camaraderie and sometimes fellowship. But definitely the first two. Oh, and maybe a slice of Orsi’s pizza while they’re at it.
Readers have asked me for years to write about Fish Fry Season. They’ve asked me to rank fish frys (I still will not do that, do you think I’m crazy?) But I will, for the first time, build what I think is the city’s most comprehensive list of Omaha fish frys.
Here’s where you come in: Do you see something I missed? Do you have some details about your favorite fry that aren’t listed here? Or maybe your fish fry is on the list and needs updating. Let me know: sarahbakerhansen@gmail.com.
I’ll see you one of these Friday nights in a fish-scented church basement of Omaha, PBR in hand.
All the fish frys listed take place every Friday between the date range. Prices range from $7-$15 a person, and children are often discounted.
