I defenitely think hobbit's ate fish, fish makes sence.
I haven't had any time to do any more research on hobbit eating behaviour, I'll let you know if IU find any mentionings of fish in the books.

Sam Gamgee extolled the delights of "fried fish and chips" to Gollum; while cooking rabbits in Ithilien.
JRRT removed the reference to "tomatoes" early in TH, replacing it with "pickles" (right after "cold chicken and"). But he left 'taters in Middle-earth.
