Was that to get around the no meat on Fridays rule? Could have just eaten an otter (it lives in water, so it must be a fish).
Yes, in the past there were a lot of days were it was forbidden to eat meat, not only on Fridays and during the 40 days before Easter.
Also beaver and turtle counted as fish.
