You can stop counting down the days until Easter signals eating meat again when you have different seafood recipes at hand. Food Republic, for example, has 15 recipes that range from easy ways to make use of mussels to a marinated sole to scrumptious shrimp to (wait for it) your very own homemade fried fish sandwich that can outdo Chick-fil-A!
Vegetarian meals can add variety to Lent
Plant-based cooking is increasingly popular, points out the Houston Chronicle.
Rather than the old-fashioned meatless Friday options of tuna casserole and fish sticks, more consumers are experimenting during Lent with everything from tofu wraps to exotic ways to cook eggplant and rice to veggie burgers.

“We see an interest in dishes from a broader set of cuisines around the world that are largely vegetarian cuisines,” said Jack Bishop, chief creative officer at America’s Test Kitchen.
Lent offers an opportunity to experiment with a variety of vegetables and grains, and it might just turn into a new way of eating, says Bishop.
“It’s a time to celebrate and innovate with the notion that, come Easter, you can decide to return to your old habits, or have some new habits you’re going to stick with,” summed up Bishop.
