Curious about how different cultures view certain fish? Like, are there specific fish that hold a ton of importance for folks in different parts of the world because of traditions, legends, or even just local taste? Would be cool to hear about any unique fish stories or symbolic meanings they've got tied to them in various societies.

Definitely, fish can be super symbolic. Take the koi in Japan, for example, which stands for perseverance and strength because of its ability to swim upstream. Or how about the importance of cod in the history of New England, where it was not only a dietary staple but also a driver of the local economy for centuries? Got any other examples where fish are a big deal culturally?
