When Fridays roll around, especially during the Lenten season, many in southeast Wisconsin crave a fish fry -- and plenty of places serve it up.
Castaneda said fried fish orders at least triple during this time of year.
"This was passed down generation after generation, and you know, people don't know what they're missing," said Allen Foote, a fellow Oscar's customer. "It's also a good way to get out and socialize."
