@Chiswick Chap Two main comments on this GAN:

1 I feel like the discussion of fish in mythology and religion is a bit light. It feels like it doesn't discuss lots of overarching themes—I don't really know much about how or why fish are used in mythology.

Added a bit on the overarching themes, especially in Persian culture, and a supporting image. The section is already quite long, and it contains 16 sources, which is pretty good, I'd have thought.

2 The introduction feels like it's a digression that just describes what "Culture" is in general, which doesn't strike me as necessary.

The lead just summarizes the body of the article. The context paragraph on culture is provided to distinguish the general meaning (as used here) from "popular culture" and from "[high] culture" like classical music or fine art. Without a clear definition in the article, the rest of it would make no sense to some readers.
