A Carnegie Mellon graduate, Hollen Barmer turned her love of fish fries into a map to chart the many places to find Friday fish for Lent.
Leave it to a non-Pittsburgh native to find a way to let all yinz know about where to find fish n'at for Lent. Hollen Barmer, a writer/editor for Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute, has found all the fish fries Pittsburgh has to offer—and a way to add those she might have missed.

Debbie Brust runs the Church of the Resurrection fish fry every Friday evening during Lent, but good luck finding her amidst the hustle and bustle of the volunteer staff and the large crowd of hungry customers out to support the church and enjoy some delicious local eats. "I'm in the kitchen, I'm on the line, I'm checking on our patrons. I never stop on Fridays," she said.
