I forgot when the rules were changed, but all through junior high and
high school in New Haven, fish was the entree on Fridays. Huge Catholic
population. Pretty good fish, too. Of course, up the hill in Amity, I'm
sure the fish was served on a special sauce.

Vatican II 1968

Still most schools around here serve fish on Friday as well as most
of the resturaunts


Well, I was always thankful to the Catholics for the fish. I remember
well the "tasty" fishsticks, but, more often, we had baked cod and
sometimes salmon patties. School lunches, heavily subsidized, were about
35 cents in junior high and 75 cents in high school. Complete, hot
lunches every day. Plain food, but no junk food. Nothing fancy. In high
school, we'd sometimes sneak out and walk a long, long block to an
Italian deli for a sub. Doing so was "verboten," but one day we saw the
assistant principal there, ordering his sub. We promised not to tell and
he promised not to discipline us. Whew! :-
