DAYTON EATS: Corpus Christi Fish Fryers going strong more than three decades later

For more than 32 years the Corpus Christi Fryers have been running fish fries around the region preparing everything from heaping pans of crunchy Icelandic cod to the from-scratch sides they serve with it.

The Corpus Christi Fryers were formed by a collection of parents who banded together in 1990 over deep fried, golden flaky fish as a way to fund the athletic association at Corpus Christi School, ensuring that all students who wanted to play sports at the school could play.
