It is perfectly A-okay for Catholics to eat fish during lent. The main reason that Catholics do eat fish is because they are not supposed to eat meat of Fridays during lent. Which is why McDonald's fish fillet is so popular around this time.

During the earlier ages of Christianity, fishing played a big part of Rome's economy (what with Italy being surrounded by water and all). But, with everyone having to give up meat for lent, the economy essentially ground to a halt during that time period. To prevent that, the pope issued a decree that it was ok for fish to be consumed during lent, though other meat still had to be given up.
