fimir are more draconic than fishy, and not only they're chaos, but also freshwater, I just don't see them filling the spot of proper fishmen.
meanwhile, if we connect fishmen to a form of undeath, we can run to hell and back with the quote "That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die" and on top of that we can play around with all the designs from pirates of the carribbean and have the vampirates not feel too snowflakey, since they'd be under this weird other power.
