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.

They are slightly bugged and can wash up or even swim up into water too shallow for them. When they are out of water I think they enter “caught mode” like they were fished out and just turn dead
