30 Fish Recipes for Lent and Fish Fridays throughout the Lenten Season and year.
My husband and I grew up with different Lenten traditions. He grew up eating fish or going meatless on Fridays and my church had Soup Suppers on Wednesdays. Whenever possible I try to incorporate both of our traditions. In the past, this meant meatless soup on Fridays. However, this year I will be observing both of our traditions during Lent and we will have soup on Wednesdays and fish on Fridays.
You do not have to recognize Lent to benefit from the fish recipes for lent below! And I should point out, that the links will not necessarily take you to sites where the bloggers participate or even recognize Lent. However, they are still a good resource for recipes that are appropriate for the Lenten season.
Fish used to be fairly frugal, but the price has gone up considerably over the last decade. Here are some tips for how to save money on seafood and here are the 10 best places to find seafood coupons. Since seafood is so expensive, you don't want to let any of your fish go to waste! Here is a list of recipe ideas to use up leftover fish.

March 10, 2014 at 6:41 amThese are delicious sounding recipes I can wait to try them.. Still working on improving my fish recipes and comfort in cooking them. The Tilapia Tacos were super easy to make (thank you for sharing by the way) now I’m working on salmon. I am going to try the Salmon with Balsamic Glaze. Thanks for putting together such a great list of ideas.
