What fish is good for Easter?

What food is traditionally eaten on Good Friday?
Serving seafood at Easter is a long-held tradition for many Australians. Due to the original law in the Roman Catholic church, Catholics have abstained from meat every Friday as a penance, which some still follow today. However, more Catholics are giving up meat on Fridays during Lent or Good Friday.
