Thank you for bringing that up, Brother Jennings Bryan. Did they even serve fish fried in the Bible?
I know that the Romans favored a really stinky condiment made from sardines fermented in their own filth or whatever. And Jesus did have to deal with the Roman Government. But He didn't like it. He just told people to render unto Caesar what they had to and all that.
Did the Romans insist their conquered people eat fried fish? Who were they, Long John Silver's?
No, I am thinking that perhaps the people receiving the famous fishes that Jesus handed out boiled theirs. I can imagine them having pots of hot water boiling nearby, in case some woman needed to give birth. But frying pans and hot oil to hand?!
Really, which ever Catholic Pope came up with that idea clearly knew nothing of life in Biblical times--to say nothing of the Bible.
