Actually Catholics are not bound to eat fish on Fridays during Lent. Catholics are bound to a fast(abstention) of meat. Fish is the only permitted meat because it was viewed back when this tradition was started, as a common, cheep food. The whole purpose of the fast is to humble ourselves and put emphasis on Jesus' Resurrection and Crucifixion.
