Hi David.
Not in the UK nowadays, although I could name a Taunton cider-maker that many moons age chucked a sheep carcass in the vat to promote the necessary chemical activities, giving a stronger & flaovoursome brew.
No then, the big breweries have to be sqeeky clean.
I don't think fishy beer would be a seller!
Mind, the addition of dear knows what is practiced around the world.
I am sure that I had an ale or three in Indonesia that tasted of goat, or lamb. The name of it was unprouncable, and so was my reaction the next morning.
However, the Health & Safety folks would not object to you adding whatever you fancy for home-brewing, as long as you are not selling the muck.
Upon your own head be it !
A few dobs of mustard adds a certain flavour.
I call it "Bobs' Dijon Special". Some freinds like it, some don't, and say so in robust terms.
Must knock up another batch this year.
Hey Ho.
Bob.

No, however there is a substance called isinglass which is made from the by products of a fishes swim bladder, traditionally the sturgeon was used.
Isinglass is known as finings & it's there to clear the real ale of yeast & only a very minute amount is in the glass in the pub.

I am sure that if there was, it would not pass the Health and Safety Regulations
