St. Edward the Confessor Catholic Church in North Chesterfield holds the largest Lenten Fish Fry in the Richmond area, serving 400-500 people each Friday.  Here is the recipe for their coleslaw dressing (or as they call it, “slurry”).  Three cups are enough to dress 5 lbs. of coleslaw mix, and a batch makes about 20 cups.  (Below is a smaller batch for home use to dress 1 lb. of coleslaw mix.)
