More of a sacrifice to eat red meat, than eat a seafood platter or crawfish.
The rule was in place back when meat was a luxury and not as common place. It was associated with feasts and celebrations. (kinda like crawfish I suppose). So it was just a way of sacrificing those foods.
Hell, I am Baptist, but I enjoy lent, it is a choice I make on each meal thru the season..and it is nice to have a reminder of why I am making another choice, not that I am being punished or anything negative.
I will screw up more than a Catholic for sure.

I already had steak at lunch but I'm only a lapsed Catholic.

Cheese and a pear for lunch. Egg salad sandwich for dinner. Tastes like salvation.

The book that says don't shave your beard and to marry your brother's wife if he dies? Yeah I've read it and if you're going to pick at someone for not following one rule you better be following them all yourself.

It’s communal participation in a unifying minor sacrifice as a remembrance to prepare your heart for Easter.
If you choose to eat meat on a Lenten Friday, as a Catholic, the question is not whether eating red meat is the sin, but why you chose not to participate in the communal show of respect and deference to God.
Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord, and He will raise you up.

Our culture is so soft that the idea of sacrifice is foreign to us.

Are people still doing this superstition?

Yes. People are still following the practices of established church rituals and solemnities.
Are large numbers of postmodernist relativists stumbling through their lives, picking off of the corpus of the moral teaching and existential underpinnings hard-won over several millennia by Judeo-Christian culture and religion? Yes.

You win based on the number of big college words alone. I was just going to question the origin of the whole ritual, because abstaining from meat on Fridays in Lent isn't something from the Bible.

Honestly, it never felt like much of sacrifice when on Friday I was stuffing my face with white beans and catfish.

I could list 100 things that will stop my entry to heaven before”ate meat on a Friday in Lent”

Sorry about that.

There were various eating “rituals” and rules regarding diet in the Bible, but nothing specifically about lent and abstaining from meat. Nevertheless, it’s a very old observance that dates back to the early church, probably from a time when eating red meat was more of a feast.
The practice may have lost some of its original meaning, but it still remains one of the very few group practices that signifies someone feels a part of the Catholic (Christian) Church. As noted, it’s not really very difficult as “sacrifices” go, but it is a small token of faith.
Tonight, I went to a fish fry sponsored by the Boy Scouts at the local Catholic school/parish. I visited with my Catholic friends. We said grace over the meal as a group.
It was nice. I feel connected to of a group of believers.

Im not a Catholic, but from my perspective, it’s not about “following the rules”. The New Testament freed us from the penalties under the law, but that doesn’t mean that the traditions associated with them aren’t worth observing and honoring.
It’s a fast. Fasting is never a bad thing from a spiritual perspective.
