When Christians were being persecuted, they used the Christian fish as a symbol to show that they were Christian. They did not want any people who were against Christianity knowing about them because of the persecution going on, so they would draw a fish when they met someone. if the person drew a fish back to them, then the people would be able to discuss God without any fear of saying it to the wrong person.
