Just curious. I remember my Catholic relatives and friends eating fish instead of meat on Fridays. Is fish considered a meat or is this something you could eat on Fridays during Lent?

[StAthanasiustheGreat]

No, Fish is allowed on Friday's during Lent and Ash Wednesday. Meat is generally limited to "land animals" and animals that can fly, though in some countries, chicken is allowed. But in the US, traditionally, all but fish is not allowed on Friday. Generally eating Fish is the standard Friday night fare, ala Friday Night Fish Fries.

[Salvation]

Yes, you can eat fish, eggs, cheese, but no meat.
