I'm slow and dim witted. Bury a fish???
Irish tradition: You bury a herring on Easter Saturday. Since meat was prohibited during Lent, most IC had herring as the main dish. After six weeks of that awful thing, they were glad to see the back of it, so a mock funeral and procession was held for a herring.
I swear, I am not making this up.
