It's Lent. Here are 10 great places to get fish in Lexington.

Now that the calendar has passed Ash Wednesday, many people give up meat on Fridays. But you don’t have to be Catholic to appreciate a good piece of fish. Here are some local places to get some:

▪ Charlie’s Fresh Seafood Market, 926 Winchester Road, is the kind of place locals know for its fish sandwich special. It also sells fresh and frozen seafood. Call 859-255-6005 for more information.

▪ Smithtown Seafood, 501 West Sixth Street, is tucked right into the West Sixth Brewery, so you can pair your food with a West Sixth beer.
