Most cultures regard Friday as a day to eat fish. I think it's biblical.

It's a down home fish fry. An old southern good time. However, it's not only African Americans that eat fish on Fridays. Catholics all around the world do it as well. The Moby Dick near my house is packed every Friday night, whether it's Lent or not.

it's not specifically African Americans, but years ago most Catholics and their religious derivatives did NOT eat meat on Friday. so fish was a good alternative. Now still in most public schools. meat is not served for lunch on friday,that's why it's pizza day.

The same reason white people or Latino people do. Because it taste good.
P.S>
Catholics eat fish on Fridays during Lent. (before Easter). Not every Friday.
Educate yourselves people....please.
