Dude, I’m not even Catholic, but I went to Catholic school, and all during Lent every single lunch was fish on Friday, and the freaking fire departments had fish fry Fridays randomly throughout the year.
True it isn’t the entire year, but during Lent there is absolutely a proscription against eating meat on Friday, except fish.

you could try actually reading the source yourself.
and who the hell am I supposed to trust about the Catholics if not a freaking archbishop?
In the US, the USCCB (that is, the bishop’s conference for the United States) has ruled that Catholics should abstain from meat every Friday outside of Lent but may substitute that for some other suitable form of penance. What that penance is isn’t exactly delineated. here’s an archdiocese saying the same thing . I’m not catholic, so if you want to argue what Catholics are and are not allowed to do, please take it up with the archbishops and archdiocese.
