The Knights of Columbus are serving up pretty typical Lenten fare at Christ on the Mountain parish in Lakewood. For $7.50 you get fried or baked fish, hushpuppies or french fries, macaroni and cheese, cole slaw, a drink (water, iced tea, coffee, or lemonade – and there was also a “bar” serving beer and wine), and cake for dessert. It didn’t seem that there was any limit to the number of times you could get additional servings, but you did have to wait in line again to do so. Condiments available included Tabasco sauce, ketchup, tartar sauce, and vinegar.
The fish was unexceptional. The fried fish was battered and tasted like the typical kind of fish that fast food restaurants serve and just call “fish”. (What kind is that?) It was not overly flavorful or crisp, though it was being fried right outside the Community Hall. The baked fish was the same kind of “fish”. However, we did get a surprise when we went back for more fried fish and received catfish the second time around. The catfish was just average however – it was also battered and needed salt. The hushpuppies were savory and flavorful; the cole slaw was standard cabbage and carrots in a creamy sauce. The macaroni and cheese was very creamy. The cake was store bought and had a lot of icing on it, but they did have three different kinds to choose from.
The venue is rather small – there were probably around 30-40 people in the Community Hall at any given time – but there was at times a line of people at the door. We overheard one person comment that the crowd was larger than expected. The people we sat with were friendly, and the view of the mountains from the Community Hall made the trip worthwhile even if the fish didn’t.
I give this Lenten fish fry three out of five Ichthus.
