In the miracles of multiplying fish and bread, was there any fish among the leftovers?

Jesus fed the five thousand in Matt 14:

20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

Matthew did not distinguish between fish and bread among the leftovers.

In the next chapter, Jesus fed the four thousand:

37 They all ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

Again, Matthew did not distinguish between fish and bread among the leftovers, symbolizing God's abundant provision.

However, John described the feeding of the five thousand in 6:

12 When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” 13 So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.

Was there any fish among the leftovers?

I think so. Unlike Matthew, John decided to focus on the leftover bread because he wanted to convey a deeper spiritual truth.

Later, he continued:

48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. 50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. 51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”

John used the barley loaves to draw out the spiritual truth that Jesus is the bread of life.
