First question: do fish have visible testicles?

Second question: where are that man's pants?

answer to both at once: the man uses a small pair of fins instead of pants

1. No, and if you don't believe me, believe Aristotle, who wrote that "no fish is furnished with testicles." But male oviparous fish do have an internal testis or testes, in which milt is produced. For instance, check out the sac on this salmon:

If you were inclined to think the flappers on the original fish resembled a scrotum, I hate to imagine what you made of the fold beneath them.

2. He's wearing small, loose, blue nylon shorts, which have been pushed upward by his understandably awkward fish-holding duties.

If you ever find yourself in a high-end sushibar, ask for "shirako".

No, Steve Shasta.

Fish are gross. They're tasty, but gross.

I still don't see his shorts. He's getting dangerously close to that fish.

That looks like a huge tadpole!

Clearly, they're a couple.
