Hi everyone,
We've acquired a few of these fish pictures/paintings (images attached).
There's no artist name, date or anything else to help identify them so we're hoping somebody on here may be able to help shed some light please?
It's quite hard to tell from the photos but the silver of the fish is metallic in real life and has a bit of a shimmer to it.
Has anybody seen anything like this before that can maybe help put a date/story to it?
Thanks in advance!

Have them unframed to see if there's anything on the backs and to better determine technique/medium. If they're original art, they likely needed to be disassembled, cleaned, and have the backings replaced with archival-quality materials anyway.
