*Whether you're not a fan of fish or you have a seafood allergy, there are plenty of Meatless Friday meal options for you and your family.*

---

I can't even count the number of times people have reacted with surprise when they heard that my kids enjoyed a fish recipe I'd prepared. "My kids would *never* eat fish," they'd tell me. Others weren't fans of fish themselves.

And there are plenty of other people I know who must avoid fish due to allergies.

Whether you don't like fish, can't eat it, or can't get it at a reasonable price, you can still find plenty of meatless meals to enjoy, for Meatless Friday or any day of the week. Of course, there's pizza. You can also serve grilled cheese sandwiches, breakfast for dinner, or many varieties of soups. We have plenty of recipes for all of these options here on CatholicMom.com.
