North Carolina and South Carolina: Here’s the Best Fish Fry

Isn't it strange that Ash Wednesday and Valentine's Day fell on the same day this year? Regardless, we're into Lent, and that means it's time for some fish fry fun. I was a pescatarian for a long time and always loved Friday fish fries. Now, I'm a vegetarian, so I can't enjoy the actual fish, but I can sure have some of the fixings. So, where do you find the best fish fry spots in North Carolina and South Carolina?

Who better to ask than Eat This, Not That? The site often publishes lists on the best foods in different areas. Now, they have a list out about the best seafood restaurants in America. If it's a great seafood restaurant, you know they have a fantastic fish fry. "From hole-in-the-wall locations to fine dining fare, this list goes to show that good seafood can fit every budget," Eat This, Not That states.
