Fish won't become currency. There are several good reasons for this:

1. Imagine how much your wallet/purse would stink
2. They are too large, so wouldn't scale well.
3. Pelicans would be the richest people in the world
4. The world is already drowning in debt, so sourcing your currency from the ocean would be counter-intuitive
5. Everyone would have to go to loan-sharks for funds


On the positive side, however, there would be no need for a stock market and a fish market, they could easily be combined.
