Scotty Simpson's Fish and Chips in Brightmoor received a blight violation over a sign. It's a violation the owner feels is unfair in a Detroit neighborhood that has a bad blight problem due to trash and unkept vacant properties.
Bring on fish fry season.
Around metro Detroit, there are plenty of places where fish and chips are the best catch.
Ash Wednesday signaled the start of the Lenten season. It s when Christians across metro Detroit and beyond observe a period of reflection, repentance and sacrifice for the six weeks leading up to Easter.
Giving up meat is the most popular observance.
And for that reason, Lent is also when area restaurants serving fish and chips reel in (sorry, I couldn t resist) customers, especially on Fridays.
This year, with seating-capacity limits still in place because of the coronavirus pandemic, the landscape of favorite places for a fish fry most likely has changed. Many places also have different hours than before.
