For many, Lent marks a time of abstaining from meat on Fridays and looking for appealing fish, vegetarian and other meatless options. Luckily, Bloomington-Normal offers plenty of delicious destinations for your Lenten meals.
Start your Fridays off right with Fish Frys at local restaurants or enjoy lighter options like a salmon caesar salad or shrimp tacos.
If seafood isn’t your favorite, try meat-free pasta dishes, loaded salads, veggie-centric items like eggplant parmesan, or global flavors like vegetarian curries and stir fries abundant at local restaurants.
There are many options for eating well during Lent while sticking to your observances. Check out our guide of the top spots for meatless meals and let us know your favorite Lenten dining destinations. Happy Fish Friday feasting!
For a unique twist on the fish sandwich, check out the Gator Poor Boy from Brass Pig Smoke & Alehouse.
You don’t need to give up your favorite Mexican flavors just because it’s Lent! Check out the Crispy Fish Tacos from Tony’s Tacos. They are crispy to the bite and full of flavor as they are topped off with their homemade chipotle sauce and served with sides of rice and pico de Gallo.
