Food for a family during Lent

We picked next Friday to provide food for a family that needs a little help right now. Im pretty sure they dont eat meat on Fridays so any idea of what we could provide? I was thinking of a shrimp pasta dish or maybe a few catfish dinners from a local church. The kids range in age from 9-16 and I just know my kids are very picky with seafood.

Fried fish for the win.

A big batch of shrimp pasta would be easy to make and reheat. Fried fish is not so good for reheating.

Stop off at MBS and pick up a few Fish Dinners....

Can you ask the family what they enjoy eating?

A yummy vegan Mediterranean style dinner with hummus, falafel, salad and pita bread

I'm not sure I would take it to this level for a family with kids that I don't know. Could be picky eaters, etc.

Just check to make sure no one in the family has a shellfish allergy.

A family of 5 that includes mom, dad and 3 kids can get well fed on 4 lbs. of fried shrimp, fries, cole slaw or potato salad and some type bread-----hush puppies, King's Hawaiian Rolls, Texas Toast, etc.

Thanks everyone! I didnt even think of a possible shellfish allergy. We may have to ask the family even though I think this was intended to be a surprise.

Maybe a big ole bowl of fettucine alfredo with a container of blackened shrimp on the side.

Fried fish and skrimps with red beans and rice

I vote for fried fish and shrimp, but with white beans and rice, a side salad, and cornbread or hush puppies.
If someone can’t have shrimp, they can still enjoy the fish and other stuff.
