Back in the days of overpowering protestants the Christians were killed/jailed for being Christians. For this they had to meet in secret, and to show that they were Christian instead of proclaiming it, they wore wooden fish around their necks. The fish from what I gather was an homage to Jesus feeding the 5000 and was their way of secretly meeting.
