A sin is committed. It is a seirous (mortal) sin if the person is above the age of 14 and does not have a special dispensation, knows that it was a sin to do so, and ate meat anyways. It is a venial sin if it was done by accident or without really understanding this or was of course, not consenting to the act through free will.
In the case of a mortal sin, a confession is needed. In the case of venial sin, a confession is a good idea, but not required. A normal act of contrition and some self-specified penance is needed.

By the solemn forty days of Lent the Church unites herself each year to the mystery of Jesus in the desert and in spiritual preparation for the celebration of His Passion, Death, and Resurrection. This season of penance is an intense moment of the Church's penitential practice and are particularly appropriate for spiritual exercises, penitential liturgies, pilgrimages as signs of penance, voluntary self-denial such as fasting and almsgiving, and charitable and missionary works. The Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Churches also observe the season of Lent. Many modern Protestant Churches consider the observation of Lent to be a choice, rather than an obligation.
