Fat Tuesday is today, Ash Wednesday is tomorrow, and Fish Fry Season officially begins in Bellevue this Friday. While the Omaha-Metro hosts many amazing fish fries, we want to encourage our readers to Support Bellevue and give these long-running fish fries a try this Lent.
According to Larry Reed, Financial Secretary with the Knights of Columbus Council #6192, their event is the longest-running fish fry dinner in Bellevue. “Brother Knight Joe Norris started our original fish fry. Joe was the owner of Big Joe’s Drive-In on Railroad Avenue. I’m unsure of the exact year, but it was at least 40 years ago.”
Ray Romero, Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus Council #6192, feels strongly that Bellevue residents should support the Bellevue-area Fish Fries as many of the events are fundraisers for the organizations involved. “Two fish fries in Bellevue are run by Knights of Columbus councils. The Knights do not run fish fries to make money for ourselves, but to help with donations we make throughout the year.”
