Fish on Friday
It was tradition for centuries to eat fish on Friday.
The church banned eating meat on Friday in the Middle Ages as a form of abstinence and penance.
Nowadays, people don't observe the same rules in such large numbers, but if you're wanting to add fish to your diet and don't know how to start, then beginning by serving fish once a week on a Friday is as good a method as any.
Eating fish has been proven to have substantial health benefits, so it's well worth making the effort to add fish to your diet twice or more times a week.
Start with something simple - either using canned fish to make a pasta sauce or some smoked fish cooked in milk and served with bread and butter. Links at the bottom of this page.
