Contextual Overview
1In those days the multitude being very great, and not having what they may eat, Jesus having called near His disciples, says to them, 2"I have compassion on the multitude, because now three days they continue with Me, and they have not what they may eat; 3and if I will let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far." 4And His disciples answered Him, "From where will anyone be able to feed these here in a wilderness with bread?" 5And He was questioning them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven." 6And He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, He broke, and was giving to His disciples that they may set before [them]; and they set before the multitude. 7And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed, He said to set them also before [them];8and they ate and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces—seven baskets; 9and those eating were about four thousand.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they had a few small fishes,.... Which they also acquainted Christ with, and brought out unto him:
and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before [them]. It looks, by this account, as if the fishes were blessed, and brake, and distributed separately, alter the blessing, breaking, and distribution of the bread; and so the Syriac version renders it, "upon whom also he blessed"; and the Persic thus, "and he also blessed the fishes"; but, according to Matthew they were both blessed, and brake, and distributed together, as it is highly reasonable to suppose they were both ate together;
