In doing so most of them will opt for a fish supper instead – with plenty of freshly caught produce available across the island to tempt them.
With that in mind, the team at Hello Fresh Ireland have revealed the most popular fish recipes among the people of Ireland.
The recipe food box company has analysed the most popular fish recipes that the Irish have been searching for ahead of Good Friday, which marks the first day of the long Easter bank holiday weekend ahead.
And their data shows that the fish pie is the most searched for recipe by Irish people - with 4,400 average monthly searches.
The next most popular recipe search is seafood chowder followed by the fish taco.
