It is Friday night during Lent, which means it is officially Fish Fry season. Whether you are hitting up a local community hall here in Florida or frying up your own catch at home, you need the right soundtrack.
Skip the predictable Spotify playlists tonight. The ultimate pairing for crispy fried fish, hushpuppies, and a cold drink is a solid, soulful Blues radio broadcast. In fact, “Fish Fry” shows are a massive tradition in blues radio.
Think B.B. King, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Little Milton, and the kind of records that were made for a Friday night fish fry.
