fish Friday
Meatless Friday meal
Fish Friday is the practice of eating fish instead of meat on Fridays, traditionally observed by Catholics.
The custom stems from abstaining from warm-blooded animals as a form of penance, particularly during Lent.
Many restaurants and cafeterias still offer fish specials on Fridays: It's fish Friday at the school cafeteria.
