‘Tis the season for seafood! If you’re observing Lent, here are some restaurants in the Central West End that serve mouthwatering meatless meals.

Cocina Latina

This authentic Peruvian restaurant should definitely be on your list during the Lenten season. We recommend the Ceviche as your appetizer — mahi mahi slices marinated in lime juice and seasoned with Peruvian aji limo peppers, cilantro, garlic, and red onions. For your main dish, you can’t go wrong with the Sudado de Pescado — filet of mahi mahi cooked in their aji panca sauce with onions, tomatoes, and cilantro served over potatoes.

Drunken Fish

Lean into your love of seafood at Drunken Fish! Their selection of sensational sushi and Japanese cuisine will satisfy every appetite. This Tuna Aloha Poke Bowl features fresh tuna, mango, red onion, sliced jalapenos, garlic, ginger, wasabi, ponzu sauce, eel sauce, fresh-squeezed lime juice, sesame seeds, and cilantro.

Louisiana Shrimp Po Boy, Red Snapper, or Scallops? No matter what you choose, delicious Cajun fare (that won’t break your fast) awaits you at Evangeline’s!

Kingside Diner

Lenten lunches are always available at Kingside Diner, like Fish and Chips or their Fish Tacos (hand-battered cod, coleslaw, avocado, and chipotle aioli on a flour tortilla).
