Fish on Good Friday - What are you having??

[nothing2lose]

To me, eating meat on Good Friday is unthinkable! (no judgement, just my family's tradition)

If you eat fish on Good Friday, what are you having this year???

[Tinks]

I have never eaten fish on Good Friday. I have no idea what I'm going to cook tonight yet.

(sorry N2L, I know I probably shouldn't hav answered this)

[LionsandBears]

Fish and chips!

[Olive]

We always have fish, so it's fish and chips tonight (we're not religious, it's just tradition)

[No.5]

Growing up it was cod. Tonight I can't be bothered so we'll probably have fish and chips which we normally order cod anyway

[MummaBee]

Went for nile perch not to bad and crab nom nom nom

[The[cookie]Doctor]

We're having garlic prawns, salmon patties and some oven baked fish.
Bit sad as DH didn't get out until late last night so it's just a box of frozen fish, not fresh but it'll be yum enough.

Oops! I'm not even religious, but I've always eaten fish on good Friday as a novelty (yeah, sorry )... I completely forgot about it today and I ate a burger before!

I'm thinking lemon and herb fillets for dinner to make up for it...

[Dansta]

umm we go to the pub for the dinner before the auction then it'll be fish n chips there. if not the boys and DH will have fish chips (ala frozen ones) and i'll have a toasted penutbutter sanger n chips.

Fish here, like others has always been a tradition, grew up in a religious household and even though I'm more agnostic now I still like to follow it, and try to teach the kids the reason why,

But to answer your question we are having prawns and going to attempt to cook Barramundi Fillets on the Weber (may or maynot be successful)

Had fish and chips with prawn cutlets and scallops for lunch. Not sure what we're doing for dinner.

TBH I'm religious but nowhere in the Bible is it stated you need to eat seafood on the day Jesus died. So I consider it a church tradition, not a Christian one. So we're flexible with it.

Me too Jen.
It is purely for tradition and symbolism here.

[Chocaholic]

It is fish & chips for us.

My DH is Catholic and refuses to eat other meat on Good Friday.

I am not so strict (not religious at all) so the kids had a ham sandwich for lunch but the family meal will be fish out of deference to my DH's beliefs.

Growing up it was trout or salmon, but now I am the chef I don;t cook fish because bleurgh so we had homemade burgers on the BBQ, nom nom nom.

[PumpkinZulu]

Fish and chips

[Liviam]

I couldn't eat meat on Good Friday either for both religious and traditional reason. My children will also be taught the reason behind no meat on Good Friday and will always have a fish based dinner on Good Friday.

Since I'm all by my lonesone tonight (a completley different woohoo!!!!) I am going to have Fish & Chips with McDonald coke and large chocolate sunday for dessert - spoiling myself just a little bit!!!

What are you trying to say Trav?

[Cally]

We're having salmon fillets with a pistachio crust - hopefully it's as good as it sounds!
