FabSwingers.com forum: Fish on Good Friday

Are you abstaining from meat today?? If so what are you going for? I don't eat enough fish, but I'm going out for lunch and think I will go for some grilled sole (rather than battered cod and chips), and have got everything ready for a Red Goan King Prawn curry tonight.

I'm not particularly religious, and maybe it is because it was a big tradition growing up, but I always avoid meat on Good Friday. My local fish and chip shop owner told me this week it is still his biggest day of the year by a country mile.

Would you throw rocks at his goat on other Friday's ? If so can I come round next Friday it sounds like jolly good fun.

It's sort of our family film. When the arguments start as to what film to watch there's only two films we all can agree on. This one and Jaws.

Fair point! I guess I like the tradition, no meat on one day of the year.

Bank holidays don't effect either of us so don't pay any attention to them

And the Easter eggs come out a few weeks after Christmas so can't say they give it away

Really silly question, but ain't fish also a form of meat, after all it is still the flesh of an animal?

I suspect it is more to do with Jesus being a fisherman.

Yes always been tradition in my family to have hot cross buns this morning and no meat on Good Friday. I had Thai prawn fishcakes with chilli sauce and salad for lunch.

My Mum would never do washing today either.

I'm Tudor times you could eat beaver (stop sniggering at the back) and otter as they were seen as a fishy type thing.

I used to fast for Good Friday but decided not to this year. I think it's chicken tonight but I may have a smoked salmon bagel too as it's Pesach too.

I'm atheist but often like fish on Friday. Not had any meat inside me today, but a few hours to go. Expecting chippy to be rammed.

Due to a thread yesterday, I have purchased myself a rather delicious looking Sea Bass which I shall grill and serve with new potatoes and asparagus complimented with a side salad and crusty bread.
