Wife & I are both catholic... Local church, ten minutes away, has a Knights Of Columbus group that puts on Friday fish fries every week in lent to raise money for the church. This year it's a curb service deal due to covid. We got into a line of cars, ordered two fish fries and gave the guy the money, and got the fish fries without ever leaving the car. Total time was 12 minutes from pulling into line until we drove out the exit driveway. The fish fries come with french fries, cole slaw, and a roll, everything was great and we''l probably do it again before Easter. Growing up Catholic meant fish was common on Fridays even when it wasn't lent. Just some sort of habit, perhaps. Lots of Fridays I just throw some frozen fish sticks or fish fillets in the oven for dinner.
I still cannot stand the thought of eating another fish stick, not ever again in my life.
Too many back in the day when fish on Friday was required and not just during Lent.
Now, if one was to offer me some tuna noodle casserole.....................I might jump on that.
Mom didn't cook real fish very often, not her forte.
