Fish Island is an undeveloped island in the West Isles Parish of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada, where the Bay of Fundy enters Passamaquoddy Bay.

As Warren Hatheway was unsuccessful in his bid to be granted Bar Island off the northern shore of Deer Island against the wishes of Thomas Farrell, between 1810 and 1817 he was awarded a grant of six small nearby islets including Hardwood Island, Simpson Island and Fish Island. [1] [2] [3]

There is a geodetic triangulation station on a small hill. [4]
