Seriously, where does the minhag of using a fish come from? Does it come from the hard times when a chicken was very hard to come by and beyond the reach of many, whereas a fish could easily be caught in a local body of water?
Or is it based on Harav Corleone as in: “Now, da yetzer hora gonna be swimming wid da fishes”?
