Fish Fry We Love: West Park Station

This Irish/American/Italian restaurant provides casual dining among a bevy of photos that reflect the history of civil service in the neighborhood, from its horse-and-buggy past to the present. Lake Erie perch coated with a thick, buttery breading provides a satisfying crunch, while homemade pierogies leave the kitchen as fast as you can order them. "We hand-bread each piece of fish," says general manager Julie Mennen. "It has really good flavor." $14.29-$17.99, Ash Wednesday and Fridays during Lent, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., 17015 Lorain Ave., Cleveland, 216-476-2000
