This game has no fishing mechanic and only a single fish species, slaughterfish. The fish is hostile and does not produce meat when killed. There is a minor quest in the game that requires the player to kill a few of them for their scales.
If TES:Oblivion is in the “Gameplay feature: Fishing” group for the presence of killable slaughterfish, then TES:Daggerfall, TES:Morrowind, and TES:Skyrim should also be included in the “Gamplay feature: Fishing” group. I can’t see a reason why Oblivion would be included but not the other three.

Yes, the single 'slaughterfish scales' mission is the reason for the inclusion in the group, so it could be debatable - the group requirements does not define what you have to do with the fish, if it must be for food or other purposes, nor if it has to be a recurring mini-game type of action. Maybe the other games should be included too, if simply killing x number of fish is enough for inclusion?
(There are other groups for more serious fishing games of course)
