Four Hudson Valley Fish Restaurants to Try During Lent
I have made it no secret that I grew up in a Catholic household. Everyone in the family was Catholic except for my Father, he was Lutheran which is about as close to Catholic as you can get without actually being Catholic. So, it is safe to assume that I did my fair share of time attending Catholic schools and eating fish on Fridays during Lent.
For those who may not be familiar with the Lenten Season. Lent is a the time leading up to Easter when Catholics and other Christian faiths fast to recognize sacrifices made by Jesus. If you research Lent and it's origins you may get many different variations, but it basically boils down to the 40 days leading up to Easter Sunday being days to reflect on yourself and live less opulent. This is why you will hear people say they have "given something up for Lent". It also comes with fasting elements like no meat especially on Fridays.
