I need a catholic to explain this to me....

So since its St. Patty's day, all the bishops are giving dispensation so peeps can eat corned beef on the holiday. I can especially understand how important that is in South Texas where I have actually met BOTH Irish people here. But that is besides the point.

I thought the rule was (dispensations aside) that Catholics couldnt eat BEEF on Fridays during lent or ash wednesday. I guess that belief was perpetuated because all the restauraunts here advertise fish dinners on Fridays during Lent. Fish is a meet, so whats up? What are the rules? I know about the under 14 / over 60 exemption, but still? Fish/No Fish? Whats up with Chicken? Go or no go?
