This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

10. ἢ καὶ ἰχθὺν αἰτήσει. See Critical Notes. Regarding the construction as independent, translate (1) ‘Or again (the son) will ask a fish—will (the father) give him a serpent?’ or (2) understanding the relative δν from the previous clause, ‘or will he of whom his son shall ask,’ &c.

It may be noted that both ἄρτος and ἰχθὺς became for different reasons symbols of Christ.
