Question: How about the fish that are thrown onto the shore by the sea and they die due to a lack of water, are those fish Ḥalāl?
Answer: In reply please read the following research done by a Muftī of Dār-ul-Iftā Aĥl-e-Sunnat with some change of words: Yes, fish of such kinds are Ḥalāl and the above–mentioned Ḥadīš-e-‘Anber is the clear evidence in this regard.
