It started because of some sort of religious Christian tradition because Jesus died on a Friday, possibly because he gave out fish to 4000 people or whatever it was. Now though I think it’s just something a lot of people do (especially in schools lol)
I have different foods on Fridays and no traditions in terms of dishes at all. Neither on Friday nor on other weekdays. Of course, I am eating fish and chips too, but occassionally.
No. I do every Good Friday though.
It’s nothing to do with the Feeding of the Five Thousand it’s a very old Roman Catholic discipline, a day of abstinence from flesh meat. It used to be ecclesiastically compulsory in the Roman communion, and throughout Lent, into the first half of the 20th century with more or less rigour. I believe that the Eastern Orthodox not only still keep it, but also go without milk, butter and cheese.

In answer, yes and no. I don’t eat meat on Fridays, unless I will offend a more Protestant friend or relation, but not necessarily fish.
