Fish have no special meaning in Judaism. Fish began to have a special meaning in Christianity because the Greek word icthys (ΙΧΘΥΣ) meaning "fish" also worked as an acronym for Iesous Christos Theou Yios Soter (Ἰησοῦς Χριστός Θεου Υἱός Σωτήρ) which means "Jesus Christ Son-of-God and Savior". This came out of the formation of Christianity, not from any Jewish tradition.
