Snapper, Trout, Tuna, Salmon (some type of big fish)
How It's Used
“Why seven fishes? Why not six, say, or 11? It turns out that no one knows for sure. This Italian Christmas celebration might be meant to symbolize the seven sacraments of the Catholic church, or the seven sins of the world, or the seven days it took Mary and Joseph to travel to Bethlehem, or the fact that seven of the Apostles were fishermen. Those with a secular bent have theorized that the seven fish stand for the seven hills of Rome.”
