The 34th annual fish fry will be held from 4-8 p.m. Friday, March 18 at the Church of St. Joseph Parish Hall and All Saints Academy school.
ASA principal Karl Terhaar said volunteers from St. Joseph and St. Cloud served more than 2,100 meals last year.
More than 140 volunteers helped keep everything running smoothly at last year’s event. Those who helped out were ASA parents; fifth- and sixth-grade students and alumni; confirmation students and College of St. Benedict and St. John’s University students.
Volunteer duties included frying fish, collecting tickets, busing and waiting on tables, refilling beverages and more.
The annual fish fry menu will include deep-fried fish, potato salad, carrot sticks, baked beans, bread and butter, and milk or coffee.
For last year’s event, ASA school cook Mary Kay Pelkey ordered 1,204 pounds of Alaskan pollock, 665 pounds of potato salad, 100 packages of bread, 90 cans of beans and 1,500 cartons of milk.
Take-out meals are available and meals will also be delivered to the American Legion, Middy, La Playette and Bad Habit Brewing.
