Im so sorry about the "fish shaped" refrence. It comes from sources outside the Bible.

I'm not sure if he was a fish shaped god
but here is the passage from 1st Samuel chap 5
Dagon was the god of the Philistines
1 After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer to Ashdod. 2 Then they carried the ark into Dagon's temple and set it beside Dagon. 3 When the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! They took Dagon and put him back in his place. 4 But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! His head and hands had been broken off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained. 5 That is why to this day neither the priests of Dagon nor any others who enter Dagon's temple at Ashdod step on the threshold.
hope that helps

That would be Dagon. However, I didn't realize that he was fish-shaped.
Guess it's a good thing that there wasn't any tartar sauce in those days, huh?
