"  We&amp;#039;ve officially entered the Lenten season, which means there&amp;#039;s something fishy going on in the nation&amp;#039;s fast food chains. To cater to observant Catholics and members of other Christian faiths who abstain from eating meat on Fridays during Lent, restaurants around the country roll out limited time seafood specials. Though it&amp;#039;s now offered year round, even what is arguably the nation&amp;#039;s most famous fish sandwich, McDonald&amp;#039;s Filet-O-Fish, was created to offer a meatless option for &amp;quot;Fish Fridays.&amp;quot; In 1962, Cincinnati McDonald&amp;#039;s franchisee Lou Groen invented the sandwich to compensate for plummeting burger sales during Lent.
