Patron Saint Of Fishermen Please

[wiltsman]

For quiz I need to know who is the Patron Saint of Fishermen.

I seem to get two answers when I trawl the internet; St Andrew and St Peter.

Are both correct answers - or is there just one official answer?

St Andrew is the patron saint of fishermen

St Peter is his brother , Both Peter and Andrew were fishermen before they became disciples. St Peter holds the keys to the gates of heaven , he is too busy as gatekeeper to have time to worry about fish ! He leaves that to his brother.
