Best Answer

It is required by law for trucks carrying fish in interstate commerce (unless more complex markings are used) as a shipping/import/export control. The statute is at 50 CFR 14.81 and 50 CFR 14.82.

The above is accurate, however the true reason is because fish contains the highest levels of Iodine than any other food, in a normal diet. Many people are highly allergic to Iodine and if they come in contact with Iodine they could possibly go into anaphylactic shock. It is to notify all personnel involved in the shipping/transporting of fish, such as dock or warehouse workers that a particular truck contains Iodine (FISH).

Do you like fishing?

== == It depends on you. Some people like fish and some people don't. fish is sexy. is fishes a word? because if you want to say fish is sexy but plural would it be fish are sexy or fishes are sexy? Fishes isn't a word. it's one of those words that just stay the same for plurals, like deer. So it would be fish are sexy. Unless fish is the name of a person. Then fish is sexy works. And yes, I like fish.
