The first disciples of Jesus were fishermen. Jesus told them that they were now "Fishers of Men". The fish later became a secret symbol of Christianity because known Christians for a time were beat up and/or killed. The fish symbol let them recognize other Christians.
Jesus did NOT eat fish. Jesus was about mercy, peace and love. If someone has mercy, do you think he would be murdering and eating God's creatures?
It should be noted that some scholars contend that the Greek word for "fish weed" (a dried seaweed) has been mistranslated in this story as "fish". It is certainly true that dried fishweed would be more likely in a basket with bread, and fishweed remains a popular food among Palestinian peasants like the people to whom Jesus was speaking. Also, in the beginning of the story (Matthew 14:13) it says Jesus got to this place by boat. These people were right by the sea. If they were out of fish, why not just go on a quick fishing expedition? Surely with 5,000 men present it would not be that hard to go fishing. With this in mind, it further supports the thought that fishweed was being used, not actual fish.
