Lent is here, but you don't need an excuse to crave a fish and chips fix.
With all our local seafood, this dish may not be Rhode-Island centric such as calamari and stuffies, but it's a Friday classic.
Where do you get your fish and chips?
Don't miss the newest kid on the block. Dunes Brothers Seafood, dunebrothers.com, where you can choose the species of fish for your meal.
They opened three and a half years ago and were seasonal until this pandemic year. Right now you can only order from Jason Hegedus and Nicholas Gillespie, bros but not brothers, online and pick up at the cloud kitchen in Providence.
But in early March, they will open the doors to their seasonal clam shack at 239 Dyer St. for the season, complete with outdoor seating and wine and beer, near the Providence Pedestrian Bridge. In early fall, they'll have their new brick-and-mortar restaurant and fish market and raw bar on North Main Street in Providence.
Here they focus on sustainable fish; you won't find cod on the menu.
The choices depend on the day but might include pollock, a white fish; or hake, a robust classic fish. Cape Shark, also known as dogfish, which comes from Chatham on Cape Cod, is often on the menu. Gillespie said it is the traditional choice for fish and chips in the United Kingdom, where this fish was often exported.
"Our whole thing is let’s keep it here," Gillespie said.
The Bait Box has whole fried bone-in whiting and butterfish. They put five or six in each order and you pick it off the bone.
"It's like eating fried chicken of the sea," he said. "We go to Galilee to get it ourselves."
All their fish is market priced by the day. The fish is fried in beef tallow, which co-owner Nick Gillespie said not only adds a good flavor, it's absorbed naturally by the body.
Order Wednesday through Sunday 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. for pickup. When they reopen on Dyer Street, they expect to be open Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

You can only get your fish and chips on Wednesday or Friday at Gregg's Restaurants & Pubs, where they sell for $12.99. It's one of many specials they offer depending on the day.
