I found no mention of fish or what appears to be a bull on your flag. The red ensign with the Canadian coat of arms was authorized to be used overseas in 1945. I would venture a guess that your red ensign may have belonged to a national military group and they tried to incorporate symbols representative of all provinces.
Though it is only supposition, I hope this helps.
Again, see articles posted above.
