Fried Fish and SPAGHETTI!

It's Friday and in St. Louis that means fried fish & spaghetti everywhere! You heard me right - fish and spaghetti!  My son's fav meal.

I hear this is a St. Louis thing.  You naysayers can keep ya grits (those are for breakfast and are best paired with bacon & sausage) and the mac & cheese....it doesn't go with fish.  *yuck*  I tried the mac & cheese combo when I was in Cali with my people and all I can say in never again.  Gimme my damn spaghetti with my fried fish, preferably with garlic bread, a salad (missing from my plate this time) & a pickle on the side.  Most folks also add onions to this plate, but I hate onions.

What say you?

  5. Groosssss. LOL

    I'll take the chocolate covered strawberries instead. I dont eat seafood, and if that fish is touching my spaghetti, I am not eating that either. LOL

  6. I gotta try this. Looks good...but I'm really not a spaghetti eater. I can TOLERATE it but it ain't one of my favorites.

  7. Don't forget a side of coleslaw and a piece of white bread! Never had my fish & spaghetti with a pickle.

  8. The extent of my seafood with pasta is either shrimp or clams. Never had fried fish and spaghetti before.

  9. Guess hanging out in Washington Park rubbed off. Give me fish and spaghetti with some onions and pickles on the side! Wheat bread please!

    BUT I also learned that them negroes will NOT eat spaghetti unless they fix it themselves or their mama fixes it.

  10. When we have family cookouts, the boy will ask who made it & it he ain't feeling, he ain't eating.

  11. You know the reason behind that right?

  12. I don't think that's just a St. Louis thing... I used to grow weary of fried fish with either spaghetti or mac n cheese as the lunch offering in my school district - Pittsburgh has a high concentration of Catholics and therefore Fridays were meatless (at least until them crazy folks @ the Vatican changed the rules YET AGAIN)

    Pierogies were also a big deal on Fridays - especially from St. Vladimir's.

  13. I dont know how wide spread it is here in Chicago, but I know most of my family and families of friends do have fish fry's on friday... A perfect fish fry meal to me is Catfish with a side of salad... I like to break my fish apart and put it over my salad... No salad dressing though... I've never done the fish and grits thing... I just think some things otta be sacred to breakfast... But with my fish and salad I gotta have a tall glass of red koolaid (cherry for you slow people)... And something for desert... I kinda like spaghetti with my fish sometimes, but I prefer salad...

  24. Can't say I've had fried fish and spaghetti together, but I like them both and would eat them both if offered. I guess it's kinda like Chicken and Waffles, hunh? It makes regional/geographic sense...

    ReplyDelete
  25. Now "I" have never had chicken and waffles! I keep hearing how GOOD it is though.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I dont like waffles... so thats a no no for me...

    ReplyDelete
  27. They eat a lot of fish and spaghetti here also. I don't eat a lot of fish so I usually have spaghetti with meat in it alone. But I have one question...why the pickle?

    ReplyDelete
  28. KIM, YOU NEED A PICKLE TO STICK IN THE BUTTER. LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

    ReplyDelete
  29. I haven't & doubt I could tolerate a fried fish plate as my a.m. meal.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I think you are right. I've never had chicken & waffles and thought it was the craziest thing when I 1st heard mention of it.
