Thanks for posting.

Mr Lawson also revealed 20 per cent of the dietary intake was fish – which was considered a food for the poor as it was cheaper than red meat...

I read that at one time prisoners in the northeast were fed lobster for the same reason.

Eating fish on Friday and other holy days would make for a 20% fish diet.
