I got the detail from the Steegmuller biography. https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.62447/page/n13...

I believe it refers to this painting, which has, I believe, changed attribution, but which is still referred to as by a "Breughel follower". https://www.nga.gov/collection/art-object-page.41602.html#:~....

What's the deal with fish in strange places? Bosch seemed to be all about that too. Is it a Dutch thing?

Well, looks like it's the Wikipedia article on the paintings that's wrong, sorry about that! I'll try adding the 'Brueghel follower' painting to the list.
