The VFW Hall on 63rd Street and Harlem Ave in Summit, IL does a Friday fish fry year round.
Generally you have the option to sit down in a large banquet style hall, or carry out. The general selections (from memory are) fried perch, fried shrimp, fried catfish, baked scrod and then they have weekly 'specials'. Dining in you get a salad or slaw, baked potato or fries, and bread at the table. There's also a combo plate that includes, shrimp, perch and catfish.
They also serve beer and I think mixed drinks and wine. They offer desserts but they're sort of standard and nothing fantastic.
I took my mom here a week or so ago since she's a big fan of fish fry's and she was pretty thrilled the fish was fresh the portions were pretty large (I want to say that they range from $5-$8 a plate) and the service was fast. It does get pretty packed as the night goes on. They do have a lunch serving, and the dinner serving goes from 4-8pm.
If anyone is really interested in going let me know and I'll dig out a menu for more specifics.
Edited to add: This location is also diagnal from a carry out place called Mr. Shrimp. I haven't been in recently, but the advertise alligator, frog legs, crab legs, and shrimp. If you make it down this far it might be worth a walk in there as well.
