In France on April Fool's Day, people stick fake fish onto others' backs as a prank, referencing the Catholic tradition during Lent of only being allowed to eat fish and not meat. Catholics were only permitted to eat fish after Lent ended at Easter, so sticking fake fish on others' backs became a comedic way to surprise people and celebrate the coming of eating meat again.
