Lent 2019: why Catholics eat fish on Friday during Lent
It is Lent, which means that it is the season of fried fish. Here are some funny facts on Lent and fish friezes and where you can get good fish in Louisville.
Nikki Boliaux, Louisville Courier Journal
It is the season of frying fish.
Ash Wednesday, which is March 5 of this year, marks the beginning of Lent, a period of 40 days of prayer, fasting and penance leading to Easter.
It is also a period when many Christians refrain from eating meat on Friday and the reason why fish fries are so popular during this time of year.
