Space Chick Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 When I was growing up we had fish EVERY Friday. Whilst I have fish every week now, I have it on whatever day I fancy. However, I ALWAYS have Fish on Good Friday Today, it will be brunch, which I am going to be making soon, Smoked Haddock served with a soft poached egg and some homemade Granary Bread So, anyone else having Fish today, and if so what are you having?

Egluntyne Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Him Indoors always does a humungous Fish Pie on Good Friday. Delish. He is peeling the spuds as I type. It has everything but the kitchen sink in it. Hardly counts as fasting and abstaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 We were discussing this - what is the reason behind it? Is it religious. I was bought up C/E and we always had fish on Fridays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 yes it is Catholic, can't remember why though lol We always had fish on Friday at home and at school. I don't follow the faith now so fish is any day now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 Its not only Catholic, as I was brought up as a Baptist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Fridays - and Lent - were supposed to be 'meat free' days, but fish didn't count as meat! Even for non-Catholics though, it seems to be a tradition to have fish pie on Good Friday, at least my mum always did and I do too. I just did a home-made one with cod, prawns and spinach today. Not as good as my mum used to make, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinsk Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 It was fish pie on Friday for us too. I made one for the freezer aswell. I was brought up C of E we've always had fish on Good Friday and were told that really you 'should' have it every Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 we do! We had tuna pasta bake Friday. And it was a good 'un - sometimes I do too little sauce and it goes a bit dry and claggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 We didn't have fish on Good Friday but we used to have a Fish and Chip Friday tradition where I used to work I just bought a reduced price whole salmon (2.8 kg) from Asda for £6.70 so have been busy cutting it into steaks to put in the freezer. That should feed us for a fair few meals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I'm in no way rligous, but isn't it all to do with the last supper? Bread & fishes? He was then crucified & rose from the dead didn't he? We didn't have fish - I had cottage pie at the pub instead washed down with Tia Maria & coke. If it had to be fish then chippy or fish fingers it would have been here too! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
