We don’t want to over simplify this, but frankly Buffalo (WNY) Fish Fries are where it’s at.
The larger than life pieces of fish, the tarter sauce, the high key side game.
Like wings, beef on weck, and sponge candy, the Friday night (or any night) fish fry is a sort of a “buffalo thing”. The Buffalo News does a great job in this article explaining the history of the Buffalo fish fry. While the most common time to find Western New Yorkers in search of a good fish fry is during Lent, many of the restaurants mentioned below offer a fish fry dish beyond Lent and more than just Fridays.
What makes a good fish fry varies depending on who you ask, but a certain crispness is important if you ask us. And then there are the accouterments – at least a couple of sides that come with it like french fries, mac salad, potato salad, a dinner roll and the 1000% necessary tartar sauce. Homemade everything is a plus if not a must.
In order to pull this list together, we asked our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram followers where to find the best fish fry in Buffalo and WNY. They answered with their top picks and we’ve included the full list of reader recommendations below. If it was mentioned, it’s listed below.
Because we received hundreds of comments resulting in over 50 recommendations, there’s an option in almost every neighborhood in WNY. From sit-down service to fast casual options and take out for instance, fish fries are served in a variety of places, all worth recommending according to Western New Yorkers.
