Did you know...?

Ch.14, vs.9

A special fish that knows about Shabbath?

אֶת־זֶה֙ תֹּֽאכְל֔וּ מִכֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֣ר בַּמָּ֑יִם כֹּ֧ל אֲשֶׁר־ל֛וֹ סְנַפִּ֥יר וְקַשְׂקֶ֖שֶׂת תֹּאכֵֽלוּ׃

These you may eat of all that live in water: you may eat anything that has fins and scales.

There is a fish called the “Shivutah” that is said to come out on to dry land every week as Shabbat begins and then returns to the water after Shabbat ends.

(Shut Shem MiShimon, Kidushin 41a)
