What biblical character is thought to have put a thumb print in the middle of the John Dory fish?
The John Dory fish [which is also known as St. Peter's fish in Europe] is a popular choice for Good Friday feasts.
The Dory’s alternate name, ‘St. Peter’s Fish’ refers to the “thumbprint” on the fish’s side. This mark is said to have resulted from Christ instruction St. Peter to go fishing, correctly predicting he would catch a fish containing a silver coin in its mouth, for him to give to the tax collector. The skin of the John Dory, marked by two dark “thumbprints” is said to be where Peter held the fish to retrieve the coin.
Well, I learned something new today, having never heard of the John Dory fish.
