Fish has a long history as a delicacy to man. In the Bible there are many stories revolving around fish. Jesus recruited his first batch of disciples in the Sea of Galilee as they were struggling to catch some fish. He would later feed 5,000 men and many women and children on a loaf of bread and five fish. After his death He appears to some of his disciples and they break a piece of roasted fish together.

The fish continues to make more stories today; his Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta back in the days when he was Finance Minister saw fish as a potential economic stimulus activity; a venture that saw many fish ponds dug out throughout the country.
