Looking at the picture results in google, it doesn't look like a shark...
------------------------------------------

Editor: Did you actually click on the links and *read* those webpages?

Here's the text for the top result for "鲛鱼" in Google Images:
馬鮫魚好吃有秘訣,教你海邊特色做法,鮮嫩美味無腥味,超好吃
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f62pB4HgNkQ

The first word there is 馬鮫魚 (mackerel), not 鮫魚 (shark).
鮫魚 doesn't appear anywhere on that page as a word.

Here's another result, randomly selected:
红烧马鲛鱼
https://www.meishichina.com/mofang/hongshaomajiaoyu/
All 15 instances of 鲛鱼 on that page are part of the word 马鲛鱼, so the page is actually not about 鲛鱼 at all.

Here's the thing: Google shows the user what it thinks the user wants to see. 鮫魚 does mean "shark", but it's an old, rarely-used word, and these days people use 鯊魚 instead. So if you type 鮫魚, Google presumes you are actually looking for 馬鮫魚, which is a much more common word than 鮫魚. That's why you are seeing lots of pictures of mackerel.
