Today is Fish Day in Brasil.
A while back I read an article about Catholics eating fishes on Friday. During the Middle Ages, the Catholic church controlled Europe's economy. Since the seafood industry wasn't having enough business, the church authority decided to rescue the seafood industry by designating Friday as non-meat fish day.
Brasil has the highest number of Catholic followers in the world. No wonder Fish Day is still popularly accepted.
My lunch plate has fried fish, cream sauce, beans and rice.
Like most Latin countries, beans and rice are their stable food.
Rice is cooked with oil, garlic, onion and salt.
There is also salad, with fruits.
