re: What is meaning behind no meat Fridays during Lent?

I've always wondered why fish somehow does not qualify as meat. I consider it to be such. Does it derive from Jewish law?

It doesn't stand up to any logical scrutiny. Like pescatarians, who say they don't eat meat.

"Meat" when it comes to beef, pork, and chicken is the muscle of those animals.

What is fish, if not the muscle of the fish? Having it often be a different color does not mean it's not the same thing as the other animals. You eat meat guys, just the meat of only a few types of animals.

Probably, as Jesus was jewish and most of Christianity faith is taken from the Jewish faith it's predecessor.
