I don’t know about you, but during the Lenten season, I struggle to come up with meatless meals. I get bored making the same recipes over and over.
This collection of fish, seafood and other meatless recipes will certainly help you find inspiration for Lent-friendly meals.
What is Lent?
The Lenten season, also known as Lent, is one of the most important seasons in the year for Christians.
During Lent, many Christians observe a period of fasting, repentance and spiritual discipline. The purpose of Lent is to relate to Christ’s sacrifice and reflect on his life, death and resurrection.
When Does Lent Start?
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, lasts approximately six weeks, and concludes on Easter Sunday.

Thanks for sharing so many seafood ideas! My family eats “meatless” including seafood most of the time, so we have lots of fish recipes as well as dairy and bean recipes. Here’s an example of 4 weeks of our dinner menus.
Being pregnant, I am not doing a food fast for Lent, but I have taken on some extra Bible reading and prayer time.

I’m anxious to check some of these out! We usually have fish on Friday, just because I pick it up while my daughter is in dance class right next to the store I like to buy it from on Fridays.
I’m doing 40 bags in 40 days for lent, so I guess I am giving up clutter!
