Dunno on the fish-bears- I've always taken care to shoot vegetarians - Interior Alaska bears, or those on alpine blue-berry patches, well away from salmon streams.
Just tried a couple nights ago a straight shot of "smoked-salmon" flavored vodka. Not too bad - but then I'd already had a couple.... I was reliably informed it's a lot better in the Bloody Mary mix recipe on the bottle.
I can also advise to NOT shoot a dominant herd caribou bull in the rut (juveniles just practicing will be stringy, but good flavored - cows will be excellent) - or moose bulls in the rut that have been fighting (if they haven't, they can be OK- not good- but palatable). The trick is in knowing which ones have been fighting- and probably defeated - after a couple days as herd-meister...
Take a satellite bull.
Getting a little far afield of bear lard here.....
