Friday Night Fish Fry Dinner at Black Bear Diner in Salinas and Monterey by Ruth Paget

On a recent outing to Black Bear Diner in Monterey (Salinas also has a location), I saw that Black Bear Diner is doing Friday Night Fish Fry.  Fish Fry usually comes with French fries.  

I like to order lemonade with fish fry to increase the vitamin C with the meal - Vitamin C fights scurvy, the old time sailor’s plight.

The Monterey location advertised catering for events in the restaurant. 

I have included the following link to their website:

Note: Friday Fish Fry Dinner has a long history in Wisconsin where my family lived for several years.  This meal is usually reasonably priced and welcome for work-weary parents.
