My guess on the fish in question is Grass Carp. Any other guesses?

ETA: Maybe Black Carp:

I don’t know, but Kazakhstan lakes stock sturgeon… which supposedly provides some of the best caviar in the world.

I don’t think sturgeon look like that. Sturgeon are like, flat. And usually huuuuuge!

I’m going with Lake Shark.

I’ve seen whole sturgeon at the now long gone ORIGINAL Junior’s Deli in Westwood, LA. A $20 bagel never tasted so good!

Clearly those are water fish, it’s unusual to see them that time of year without coats on. Curious.
