List of fictional fish

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of fictional fish from literature, animation and movies. This includes sharks and eels, both of which are fish. Cetaceans and seacows are aquatic mammals, not fish, and shellfish are mollusks, not fish, so they are therefore excluded.
