Fish has always been eaten of Friday's by Catholic's. This is done as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus. Giving up meat and only eating fish is a small sacrifice and is symbolic of the sacrifice of Jesus.

In Medieval Times did they have pancakes?

Yes. Pancakes have been dated back to the ancient Greeks, so they were certainly around in Medieval times. However, pancakes have changed considerably through the centuries, and the pancakes eaten by people in Medieval times were different from modern pancakes. Aside from the pancakes eaten in Ancient Greece, the pancake as we know it developed as a result of Shrove Tuesday, the last day before the beginning of Lent. Lent isa time of fasting, particularly in the Roman Catholic church, and more so during Medieval times when the Roman Catholic church very much influenced the lives of everyday people. Shrove Tuesday became the day when flour, eggs, and sugar - all important ingredients of pancakes - had to be used up. They were not permitted to be eaten during Lent because they were regarded as indulgent foods, catering to pleasure. Shrove Tuesday dates back to at least the 12th century, so pancakes were most certainly around during Medieval times.
