If you find such a location and can figure out a fish spawn close by it is possible to build a fish farm that will leave the fish more likely to wash up and allow you pick them up

Elaborate? Why DO they wash up anyway... just... get stranded after a storm and die because they're not in water?? They "drown" out of water? Or does something else kill them?

I usually find them along the steep rocky sides of narrow fjords. Occasionally on low lying beaches that get flooded.
