There was a very distant time when the Lenten fast was scrupulously respected: a single meal of bread, vegetables, dried fruit and water per day. he introduction of fish, eggs, dairy products and even wine. fish was a huge topic of discussion, with some saying that fish was flesh (it's an animal, right?), others saying that it was not so (at a time when animal studies were not very advanced, they believed that these critters only fed on water). The people retained only the picturesque side of these unfriendly exchanges and invented our expression to designate things whose nature is not well defined, people whose opinion fluctuates, those who have a suspicious, indefinable behavior and, more generally, all things indeterminate. Nowadays, it is also used regularly about politicians whose opinion varies according to the direction of the wind or the results of the latest polls.
