They could have salmon in The Shire - the Brandywine is a long river, and I imagine if there were Salmon in Middle earth then they might swim up it. they could be caught at weirs, or even with nets strung across the river. Maybe Brandybucks liked a spot of fly fishing?
I can imagine Eels would have been eaten too, caught from small streams.
The Beornings must have been vegetarian, not vegan, as they ate honey didn't they?
