Halal Food & drink

Can I eat fish that died by itself?

Short answer

Yes. Sea animals are lawful even when found dead, because the Quran permits the game of the sea and its food (5:96). Scholars also permit locusts, based on the hadith that two kinds of dead animals are lawful: fish and locusts.

Evidence

Quran

أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ صَيْدُ ٱلْبَحْرِ وَطَعَامُهُۥ مَتَٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِلسَّيَّارَةِ ۖ وَحُرِّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ صَيْدُ ٱلْبَرِّ مَا دُمْتُمْ حُرُمًۭا ۗ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِىٓ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ ﴿٩٦﴾

海里的动物和食物,对于你们是合法的,可以供你们和旅行者享受。你们在受戒期间,或在禁地境内,不要猎取飞禽走兽,你们当敬畏真主--你们将被集合在他那里的主。
