    It's St Andrew who was a fisherman before he was a disciple

    Is there not a fish that has a "thumbprint" on it, which is meant to be St. Peters?

    A haddock or a herring comes to mind.

    Allegedly a haddock was lifted out of the water and it does look like it has a thumb print, suspect water is and was too warm for them over there
