It is certainly possible for a large, warm-blooded, terrestrial predator to 
support itself on fish, at least for a while, if there are enough fish 
around.  Many brown bears all around the north Pacific get most (perhaps 
sometimes all?) of their food intake in the form of salmon during the salmon 
runs.
