There may be many good things on the Fish Eater’s website, but be careful. CatholicCulture.com gives it a Red/Danger rating for fidelity:

catholicculture.org/culture/reviews/view.cfm?recnum=1915

Fish Eaters is a personal apologetical site which targets non-Catholic Christians, converts and Catholics. Its stated purpose is to bring people to Christ and His Church. The statement of faith posted by the webmaster is excellent but is seriously undermined by the implicit and explicit rejection of the New Mass and Vatican Council II.

The section on Being Catholic has a wealth of information and is tastefully illustrated.

…]

Weaknesses
Fidelity: The site as a whole implicitly and explicitly rejects the Novus Ordo Mass. Example(s)
Fidelity: All of the material and resources offered are pre-Vatican II. Example(s)
Fidelity: A “Dictionary of Dissent” Example(s)
Fidelity: Does not realistically portray the Catholic perspective of the Jewish religion Example(s)
Fidelity: Unorthodox Catholic links Example(s)

You can look up all of those traditions on the Catholic Culture site. They have many articles and activities on traditional Catholic practices and you don’t have to worry about the fidelity of the content.

I hope this helps

Why should it matter what rating Catholic Culture gives it?

Why should it matter what rating Catholic Culture gives it?

It doesn’t matter at all.

I know you wanted an online source. However, I recently purchased a book, “Catholic Customs & Traditions” by Greg Dues. It’s excellent!

I haven’t checked it out, but I expect that the Catholic Encyclopedia at the New Advent site should have something on these. Note that it was published in 1913; so much of the information is dated, but I think that is what you are looking for.
