What about the fish in the story of feeding 5000?

[RachaelRene]

In a homily our priest gave he spoke of the feeding of five thousand and he mentioned that when everyone was done eating that the left over bread was gathered into baskets. What was done with the left over fish? He only mentioned the gathering of the bread nothing about the fish, I had asked him about this and he wasn’t sure why fish wasn’t mentioned either do you know? Was there just not any fish left over or was there something significant about only having bread left over? Thanks
