Easter fish

Fish is traditional fare for a Good Friday supper. Some claim it stems from pagan ritual, others say we eat fish on Good Friday as meat shouldn’t be eaten on any Friday in Lent. While some believe it’s because meat was too expensive a commodity in ancient times, whereas fish was often in plentiful supply. Whatever the reason why not try these fishy Easter recipes for your Good Friday dinner.
