I scream, the Codinal screams.. and even Sister Catherine Margaret Crab breaks her monotone for Taggart's Ice Cream! That's what you get at the Sundae Bar at the Christ the Servant Fish Fry. Thank You Taggart's for donating all of the ice cream to our Fish Fry! Here's the Codinal with a Codcast from Taggart's:
There's a new program at Our Lady of Peace School... that REWARDS OUR PARENTS! Here's a shameless advertisement with the link for more information just below!
You know, when I am not eating fish, I really do enjoy the taste of Norcia's Bread. The Codinal and I visited Norcia's bakery today in Downtown Canton because, since Norcia's Bread is served at the Christ the Servant Fish Frys... it seemed an appropriate place to do a Codcast.
Lent is a time of sacrifice, a time of giving and a time of reflection. Unfortunately, it's not a good thing if your image is reflected in Pablo Paparazzi's camera lens... Check out this clip of Lenten Cheaters Unmasked:

Amazing! The Codinal and I thank you all so much for watching our Lenten Lunacy! Sister Catherine Margaret Crab, on the other hand, seriously believes we can do better. Tonight, Sister Crab brings you this important lesson on sharing.
Social Media 101
Speaking of sharing, the Third Grade guppies of Our Lady of Peace School are raising money for an important cause at the Fish Fry. Here's The Codinal with a Codcast to explain more:
See how wonderful Our Lady of Peace School teachers and students are? Don't you want your kids to be part of the Our Lady of Peace School Family? Here's a shameless advertisement promoting our school:

A huge THANK YOU to all of you who contributed to Christ The Servant Fish Fry's RECORDBREAKING night! A grand total of 731 Dinners sold! The fish is truly FISHALICIOUS, as The Codinal finds out... sometimes you just gotta have more!
Due, no doubt, to my recent fame (see "I. Am. So. Famous. post), many of you were eager to have your photo taken with me, the Codinal or Sister Catherine Margaret Crab. Here's a compilation of the photo opps:
Also, You have voted and Larry Lionfish is GOING DOWN for Perjury!
Larry Lionfish
It's the oil for him... but how about our next Fishy Character: Clive Clam for Withholding Information. REDEMPTION or THE OIL... You decide! See you at the Fish Fry!
FISH FRY TONIGHT! AS CLOSE TO HEAVEN AS YOU CAN GET ON A FRIDAY NIGHT!
An unexpected visit gave me a great idea. So if I look a little bleary-eyed tonight... it's just because I was up all night working on some new items to sell at the Fish Fry. I explain in my video message of the week:
Here's Seamour Shrimp with a song:
Oh... and here's a little family advertisement I put together:
See you at the Fish Fry! Be there... or stink like yesterday's catch!
Thursday. Fish Fry Eve. The golden fried goodness is within reach! I will see you there. Be sure to wear your best... as you will have the chance to get your picture take with the Codinal and me!
Sister Catherine Margaret Crab will be on hand for photos too... but don't expect a big smile... that's just not how she rolls. Tonight, Sister Catherine has a VERY SERIOUS ANNOUNCEMENT.
In other news... The Codinal is planning on polishing his dancing shoes to take Sister Catherine to the Christ the Servant Senior Prom. This event is strictly for the 55 years plus crowd. Check out the video advertisement below:
I'm sure you have probably already heard... but today I had an article in THE CANTON REPOSITORY! Front Page... Food Section (bottom left corner). Big mention of me and the Codinal... check it out!
Remember... the Codinal and I will be offering photo opportunities at the next Fish Fry! If you put a donation in the fishbowl... I will even sign your photo (seeing as I. Am. So. Famous.). If you don't want to keep it (not likely) then maybe you can sell it on eBay or something.
As it is with the famous people, we hang out with other famous people, and we help promote each other's causes. So here's a video by my new friend, Slick Swordfish, Stuntmaster of the Sea.
See you at the Fish Fry! Be there... or stink like yesterday's catch!
The Codinal and I are enjoying our vacation by the water in Florida... but we have not forgotten the object of our quest -- The Freshest Fish and Shrimp! I am happy to say -- SUCCESS -- and just in time for this week's fry! Here's the video:
See you at the Christ the Servant Fish Fry! 4:30pm to 7:00pm Here's the Angelfish with an important message:
As spokes"fish" for the Christ the Servant Fish Fry... I believe it is my duty to make sure that the chefs have the freshest fish available to them. Scratch that... it is not so much a duty as a QUEST. I brought the Codinal along... more for comic relief than anything else. Check out part one of our journey below:
Freshness is very important... because at Christ the Servant, we know people are picky about their fish. We also know that kids can be picky too... so we have lots of things they can eat. Here's the Codinal with the Our Lady of Peace School (at Christ the Servant Parish) Kindergarten teacher and Lunchlady with more about Picky Kids:
Seamour also chimes in on the topic of Picky Kids... with this song:
See you at the Fish Fry! Friday night... 4:30 to 7:00pm. Stations of the Cross to follow in the church.
SUCCESS! The First Christ the Servant Parish Fish Fry of this Lenten season was off the hook! Here's the Codinal with some fish on the street interviews:
A big thanks to all of the volunteers out there... but here's the Codinal with the man with the plan... the big Kahuna himself, Joe Hawkins:
Don't forget... Fish Fry Friday Night! Be There... or Stink like yesterday's catch!
Fishop Phillip Atolop has been toiling through the morning to make sure tonight's Fish Fry is a success. Here's this week's video message from the Fish of the Cloth himself:
You have Chosen... Hank Hammerhead has been REDEEMED! Be sure to vote on this week's Fishy Character... Bev Barracuda (she passes bad checks!) Redemption or the Oil? You Decide!
If we’ve learned anything from the Bible, it’s that God loves to present a challenge.That’s the way I look at this predicted snowstorm, and that's what happens in this latest video, when a brotherhood of Monkfish find themselves flash frozen and in need of a true miracle to get to the Christ the Servant Fish Fry.
The Monkfish aren't the only one's fighting the weather to get to the Fish Fry. Here at the Christ the Servant Fish Fry, you will be waited on by a fresh-faced youngster from our school.But that doesn’t
mean you can stiff them.Here’s the Codinal with today’s CodCast… that will hopefully shed some light on why it's important to tip your waiter!
You hear the words “Fish Fry” and some immediately think… Fish sticks and tater tots.NOT TRUE!There’s something for everyone at Christ the Servant.The menu is on the sidebar… (not to be confused with the sundae bar!)… but I think Seamour says it best in song.
Look for a special video message from me, the Fishop, tomorrow! See you at the Fish Fry!
Today is Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday, the day before the best time of year... Fish Fry Time. We even have a new sign in front of the Parish... as the Codinal will show you as he accosts a random citizen in the CodCast:
It’s also Lent… a solemn and busy time for a member of the Catholic Church.So busy in fact, that every man of the cloth really looks to his lay sidekick at this time of year. Today I would like to introduce to you my sidekick... Seamour Shrimp. Seamour is my personal underwater music minister, and he serves the underwater congregation of Christ the Servant Parish. Here's a little backstory on Seamour, his calling and how we met.
Now Seamour is my number one music shrimp. He's shaved that seedy beard, cut his hair and now wears the finest robes.
You can meet me, Seamour, the Codinal, the Popefish and a whole host of monkfish at the Christ the Servant Fish Fry this Friday night. We will be offering Fishop photo opportunities as well, so bring the whole family down for a portrait! Baked or Fried... You Decide! See you at the Fish Fry!
My name is Fishop Phillip Atolop. I have begun this blog in an effort to secure my standing as a social media star, and to, as always, promote the best fish fry… ever... at Christ the Servant Parish (formerly the Our Lady of Peace and St. Paul's Canton Fish Fry).
Please enjoy this trilogy of my early work:
The Fishop and the Bishop
Our Lady of Peace has gone through some changes this year, including a merger with St. Paul’s Church of Canton. Now the two churches are known as Christ the Servant Parish. I have spent much of Ordinary Time, discussing this reconfiguration with my good friend Bishop Murry. The Parish business is the Parish business, but I just want served the same quality fried fish I received in the past. The Bishop assured me that I would not be disappointed.
The way I see it, Fish Frys are the ultimate parable for a fish. A fish has two currents he can follow. One lands you in the wide open blue, and the other lands you in some murky reservoir with a ceiling of fiberglass boat bottoms. You either follow the way of God, or you’re on the hook.
In preparation for the first Christ the Servant Fish Fry (formerly known as the Our Lady of Peace Fish Fry), the Codinal has prepared this brief CodCast...
As you can see from this 2010 video... the Christ the Servant Fish Fry is more than just fried and baked fish... it's entertainment!
