Catholics over the age of fourteen are required to abstain from eating meat - dark or white - of any land animal or bird on Ash Wednesday and on Fridays during Lent. The flesh of water-creatures is permitted however. So Catholics may eat fish, seafood, and even frogs' legs (because frogs spend some of their lives in the water) on these days.
Forbidden on Ash Wednesday and Fridays during Lent:
- Beef, veal, pork, mutton, venison, or meat from any other land animals, which includes Hamburgers, bacon, sausage, meatballs, pepperoni, bologna, salami, etc.
- Chicken, turkey, quail, Cornish game hen, pheasant, squab, or meat from any poultry, fowl, or bird.
Permitted on Ash Wednesday and Fridays during Lent:
- Fish such as tunafish, salmon, herring, whitefish, haddock, cod, etc.
- Shellfish, such as shrimp, scallops, crab, etc.
- Meat from reptiles such as frogs' legs.

Are Catholics allowed to eat white meat on Friday?
If you are Catholic, tyou are not supposed to eat any kind of meat on Fridays during Lent. Whether white, or any meat.Roman Catholic AnswerTo be clear: Catholics are not supposed to eat flesh meat on ANY Friday of the year, and Ash Wednesday. In the United States the bishops have an indult from the Vatican that says that the people MAY sustitute some other penance on Fridays outside of Lent. So, it is concievable that you could eat meat on a Friday outside of Lent IF you are giving something else up that is more meaningful to you. But for Lent it must be all flesh meat. This means that you can eat seafood and fish on Friday. See Paul VI's Apostolic Constitution on Penance, chapter III, below.
