From the official guides

Vicious flying fish, they spit rocks at Link on the bridges.

Nintendo Power, January/February 1989 (Nintendo of America, 1989), p. 22

A meat-eating fish that hunts in schools. It spits rocks to scare its prey, then attacks. But its body is nothing but bones, so its hunger is never satisfied.

This one always shows up when you cross a bridge over a river or the sea. It attacks by spitting rocks. Block with your shield, then use your sword!!
