Fridays every week were fast days (and still were in my childhood for Roman
Catholics); at some periods, Wednesdays and/or Saturdays were fast days, as
was all of Lent (the 40 days before Easter not counting the Sundays) and (I
think) all of Advent (the four weeks before Christmas) except for the
Sundays.  Ordinary fast days did not allow eating meat (although fish was
allowed), fast days in Lent also banned dairy and eggs.

So your Challah would be legal for an ordinary fish day but not for fish
days in Lent.
