Easter Saturday is the Saturday after Easter Sunday. It is not, as many people think, the Saturday before Easter Sunday. That is Holy Saturday. It may be Holy Saturday that you are asking about though. Saturday is the Jewish Sabbath, so no work could be done. So very little and nothing of significance happened on Holy Saturday. As it was a day of rest, that's why there was such a rush to get the body of Jesus entombed before sunset on Friday and why Jesus lay in the tomb on Holy Saturday, waiting until Sunday to rise and why the ladies didn't go to prepare the body of Jesus until the first day of the week, which is Sunday. They found he had risen and much later Christians adopted Sunday as their Sabbath in honour of the Resurrection.
Yes you can. The Church does not restrict one not to eat meat on Holy Saturday.
Every 6 years.
