    Our American Legion Post is having another Fish Fry tomorrow (Sat.) So I made up 50 lbs. of cole slaw today. I had another guy helping me so it only took an hour to get it done. We had to raise our prices for this one. We have been charging $7 for baked beans, cole slaw, bread and fish all you can eat. Now we are charging $8 for the same meal. It's still a good price. The cost of the fish has gone up so we didn't have a choice. We use Alaskan Pollack and it is coated with a real beer batter. They are really out of this world.

    $8 dollars seems more than reasonable to me CK and I'm sure everyone will agree. The price of fish here is absolutely extortionate and we now only have it as a special treat.

    I hope the weather is good for your fish fry and that you make another sizeable profit. :-D

    I'd gladly pay you $10 for what you describe Capt. The beer batter was the clincher ;) Best of luck with the Fish Fry, hope you make lots.

    $8 for an all you can eat meal is actually a very reasonable price. Hope it is a resounding success. I know we would be there in a heartbeat if it wasn't so far.
    Our favorite fish place charges me $8 for three pieces of fried Catfish, fries and two hushpuppies.

    Toni, we are too far north for hush puppies unless you go to Long John Silvers!
