Poisson d'Avril Chocolate fish are enjoyed in France throughout the Easter season and appear on 1 April. Children start the tradition by playing an April Fool Day trick by placing paper fish on adult’s backs then running away yelling ‘Poisson de Avril’. The tradition is several centuries old with some saying it started from unknowing people being sent to market to buy freshwater fish when they were not in season. Some also link it to the zodical sign for Pisces being the fish. |
