How about English style fish&chips... if you don't have a small shop available nearby, perhaps you can find this at an English pub??

Chasing it down with an English ale might be fun!

Lobster, crab, scalops, salmon, shrimp, seafood salads, and who could turn down a good tuna casserole?

Went to Cracker Barrel this evening, Army. Spicy Cajun Catfish sandwich, slaw, onion rings, $7.29. Yummy and approved :thmbsp: I skipped dessert today:D
If you're REALLY hungry, and only can have the one meal, IHOP has all-you-can-eat pancakes!

With anchovies?

If you ask nicely, sure!

I gotta second Henry's fish & chips suggestion. If all else fails, they're actually pretty easy to prepare if you have a deep fryer. I starting making them a while back following Alton Brown's technique from Food Network. Mmmm, tasty!:thmbsp:

Isn't it just 'Meatless Fridays'? You could have meatless Lasagna, risotto, perogi and fried onions, omelets. The list goes on.

Lenten Fasting Regulations

DIRECTIONS
1) Abstinence on all the Fridays of Lent, and on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

* No meat may be eaten on days of abstinence.

* Catholics 14 years and older are bound to abstain from meat. Invalids, pregnant and nursing mothers are exempt.

2) Fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

* Fasting means having only one full meal to maintain one's strength. Two smaller, meatless and penitential meals are permitted according to one's needs, but they should not together equal the one full meal. Eating solid foods between meals is not permitted.

* Catholics over 18 but not yet 60 years are bound to fast. Again, invalids, pregnant and nursing mothers are exempt.

3) Friday Abstinence Outside of Lent.

It should be noted that Fridays throughout the year are designated days of penance. The Code of Canon Law states that Friday is a day of abstinence from meat throughout the year. The American Bishops have allowed us to choose a different form of penance rather than abstaining from meat, but there must be some form of penance, for this is the day we commemorate Christ's suffering and death. The bishops stress that "[a]mong the works of voluntary self-denial and personal penance...we give first place to abstinence from flesh meat" (Pastoral Statement on Fasting and Abstinence).
LV's right. Doesn't specify fish must be on the menu, just a lack of meat. What I didnt realize was that every Friday throughout the year is an abstaining day! :yikes: The nuns didn't teach us that!

Bah. Aint no way I'm going without breakfast burritos off the coffee truck every Friday for the whole YEAR. That's the only day they have em!

I'll just abstain from brussels sprouts outside of Lent :D

You would be correct. I was staring down the barrel of my second filet of phish (shudder) and couldn't think of much else at the time :sigh:

When the kids were little they had them on sale for 49 cents during Lent, we'd pack up the family and order a dozen at a time. Still have a hardtime choking one down.

I needed a reminder there are better alternatives.

Thanks Guys :thmbsp:

I love fish, everything from well prepared sushi (it can be very nasty) up to BBQ grilled salmon, tuna or swordfish. I do a lot of year-round grilling with various marinades and techniques but the best I ever had was in Vancouver where I tried corn-husk grilled fresh Pacific salmon - they serve it wrapped in charred husks and you peel and eat - just incredible with a good wine.

My favorite stove prepared fish would have to be Jamaican ackie & saltfish which is made with salted cod. We've never tried making it as it's supposed to be a bitch to get right but I look forward to partying with my Jamaican buds when I know it's going to be served.

Not real helpful Army but maybe the corn husk thing? :)

How 'bout sharing this recipe?!? Sounds yummy!... :thmbsp:

I do it...but just for the halibut.

Nice thick salmon steak, rubbed with lemon and olive oil and sprinkled with a little pepper and maybe sage, roasted in the oven for 15-20 minutes ... :yes:

You are making me hungry, except with other fish. Never cared for salmon except smoked. Your recipe is excellen with pike and catfish(with Cayene pepper).

do you remember naasssty fishy sticks my precious they sticks in my throat gollum. gollum. :nono:

yesterday a nice marinated grilled tilapia filet today meatloaf

Our society is too meat-centric. Its not that big of a deal. Its ONE day.

Americans already get 60%+ more protein than our bodies have any need for -- its mainly excess meat consumption. Who knows what the long term consequences will be, I guess we will see eh?

More on topic - I have always been a fan of a good Salmon fillet, grilled and dressed with mayo and dill. Simply delicious.

dew.

Only on Fridays...

Why?? If you're going to hell (and I very likely along with you for company), what makes you think that standing in front of St. Peter and proclaiming that you observed Lent is gonna save your ass? I mean, is that what will make or break the deal?

Just wondering... :scratch2:

P.S...Don't take this too damn seriously... :)

I figure I may as well go there, that's where most, if not all, of my friends will be, anyway.

Hat's off, to you, though, if you have the discipline. We already know that I have almost NO self-discipline.

For awesome salmon do this:
Get a piece of tinfoil twice as wide and a little longer than your fillet. Put some saran wrap on top of that. Make a mixture of equal parts kosher salt and sugar and sprinkle a little on the saran wrap. Now before you put your fish on the foil coat it with honey (put the honey in the microwave to make it spread easier). Lay the salmon on the foil and coat it with the rest of you salt/sugar mixture (thick). Wrap it up tight put it in the fridge and put somthing heavy on it, leave it there for at least an hour.

When you ar ready to cook get your grill very hot (500F). Take the fish out of the fridge and rinse it completly free of the rub then lightly coat it with olive oil. put it on the grill (use a fish rack) close the lid and let it cook for 15 minutes (internal temp around 140-45F). Do not open the lid of the grill until time is up (it will smoke alot).
This will be some of the best salmon you ever had :) provided you can understand my ramblings

It's all about cheese pizza in our house.

Salmon, I love it. Especially smoked. Brush with seseme oil, season with paprika, garlic powder, lemon peel and cayanne pepper. Smoke a few hours depending upon the size. Perfect. The only time mine didn't turn out was when I had a bunch of Akers over. Figures, still don't know how I F'd it up! I will have my redemption on the 25th.

Point taken...

See you there, any chance we can sneak a few brews in the handcart unnoticed?

Since you, me, Ernie and most of our friends will be there? :lmao:

Why don't I like suchi more ? :scratch2: :puke:

I LIKE sushi. Sashimi, as well. (There's your fish for you, Army.)

What do Polar Bears say about penguins?


















Taste like CHICKEN!

Instead of getting stuck with filet-o-phish I go to my local Grocery Outlet. I usually can find tuna, talipia, cod, and salmon. The tuna I pan sear till its cooked roughly 1/4 way into the filet and make a red wine sauce for it. the talapia is good for being pan sauteed in white wine (its a delicate fish). Salmon, BBQ baby!

BTW I'm hungry as hell, can you tell?

Smoked mullet with whiskey.

Smoked mullet with whiskey.


Sounds great!

As long as you leave out the mullet for me :D

A nice piece of grilled salmon for me and no thanks on the going to hell thing Echo.
I hear it's pretty damn hot and you are forced to wear long-johns with a parka. My balls sweat too much as is.... :D

I made that for dinner last night, it turned out great! I used pub style battered halibut. For "chips", I used sliced potatoes with the skin on.I hate when I go out for fish and chips, and they serve French Fries. That's not chips! I was out of
English ale, but I did have some Smithwicks left over from St. Patty's Day!

Tilapia fillets, quick egg wash, Andy's Hot n' Spicy breading, fried in peanut oil. I dare you to not like it. :tresbon:
