This is obviously a very old proverb, back from the times when one fish was enough to feed a man for the whole day. I mean how dietary needs changed over the centuries.
My two favourite versions:
'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Don't teach a man to fish and you feed yourself. He's a grown man - fishing's not that hard.' - Ron Swanson
'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a boat and drink beer for the rest of his life.' Anon.
Boru
Give a man a fish then light him on fire and he'll be well fed and warm for the rest of his life.
