Fish is meat.The whole Good Friday thing is not about it being considered meat. Nothing's wrong with eating meat. Lent is really about how Jesus multiplied the bread and wine to make it enough to feed everyone. that's what eating fish on good friday is supposed to symbolize.

But fish is meat that's why vegetarians don't consider ppl who still eat fish to be vegetarians. As long as it's a living animal it's meat.
