We did not do anything special with our fish and we were not even asked about it when we re-entered the states at Oroville, WA. They were more interested in produce,. We also had some exotic meat in the freezer but no questions were asked about it either,
Whether or not you were asked is not the issue. The burden to "declare" all items purchased or acquired abroad is on you. Failure to declare (which means freely and first, without being asked) the exotic meat could have cost you anywhere from $300 to $5000 depending on the situation. You were very lucky. Count your good fortune for sure.
