I have to admit I'm a bit doubtful about the 'fish mosaic'

The BBC's article has a picture, and they are two, and they look too dead and too edible to make convincing Christian symbols.

A secondary-use house church, perhaps? It's still a great find, but I suspect someone at the tourist board spotted an opportunity.

edit: sorry, that link leads to the mosaic inscription. the fish are here:
