Friday Fish Dinners - Noday's Pizza and Deli, Mahoning Avenue, Austintown. 1 large piece of fish, 3 pierogies, cole slaw and a roll, $8.49 The fact that Noday's is packed on Friday nights is a good indicator of the quality of their fish dinners. I stood among a forest of tall Austintown firefighters after my order was taken, watching the staff hand-bread rack after rack of huge fish fillets. You can see directly into the kitchen from where orders are placed and watch the assembly of dinners, but your wait won't be long if my experience was any indication. My piece of fish was large enough that it had to be folded to fit into the takeout box. It came with a cornmeal coating, and was well seasoned and delicious. Tartar sauce is provided in packets, but the fish is good enough to go without. The pierogies had a flavorful potato filling and were not covered in butter. I'm not fan of coleslaw, but this was fresh and had a good taste. While pierogies are a Youngstown specialty I think I'll try fish with macaroni and cheese the next time I'm in. There are a host of sides dishes available, including pasta salad, soup and jo jos, plus big brownies made in-house. Overall everything was very good, mainly because of the size and quality of the fish. Wangari never left me alone while I had any fish left, so she gives Noday's a five of five paw rating.
