Friday Fish Fry in Holland, NY

Holland's Hometown Fish Fry

Every Friday at The Holland Willows, we carry on the Western New York fish fry tradition that's been a staple of Southtowns life for generations. Our All-You-Can-Eat Fish Fry features hand-battered fried cod — golden, crisp outside and flaky inside — served with creamy coleslaw, seasoned french fries, and a dinner roll.

We've been serving the Holland community since 1970, which means we know a thing or two about what makes a great fish fry: fresh fish, a light batter, the right oil temperature, and enough to go back for more. That last part matters — this is all-you-can-eat. No counting pieces.

The WNY Fish Fry Tradition

Western New York has one of the most deeply rooted fish fry cultures in the United States. Every Friday — especially during Lent, but really year-round — communities across Erie County gather at local restaurants, church halls, and taverns for fried fish. It's not just a meal; it's a weekly community ritual.

The Holland Willows has been part of that ritual for over 50 years. Families from Holland, Wales, East Aurora, Colden, Springville, Arcade, and across the Southtowns make the drive on Fridays because they know what to expect: a generous plate, a cold drink, and a familiar room full of neighbors.

We pair the fish fry with our full bar — draft beer, cocktails, and wine — so you can settle in, catch up with friends, and make an evening of it. Or call ahead and grab takeout on the way home from work. Either way, Friday fish fry at The Holland Willows is something you'll want to make a habit.
