Since this day is also a religious celebration, and it always falls in the \u201cfasting period\u201d before the Easter celebration, most people will avoid eating meat. That\u2019s why the traditional menu for March 25th, is the so called \u201cbakaliaros me skordalia\u201d.<br \/>\nIt is fried cod accompanied by a strong garlic sauce.
