Yes, this is a fish. A Japanese mud skipper. It's life is a little different than that of most fish. It can walk on land and breathe air. All land vertebrates evolved from fish, not unlike this, one that crawled out of the ocean 365 million years ago. So what's made this dramatic change of venue worth the effort for the mud skipper? It's the mud. As the tide retreats, it exposes broad mudflats, tiny plants and animals flourish there in the rich, sunbaked silt.
