make fish of one and flesh of another

To favor one person or thing over another, often in a discriminatory fashion. The phrase refers to the now-outdated practice of categorizing meat as fish, flesh, or fowl. I can't stand how unfairly you treat your sons—stop making fish of one and flesh of another!
