Ok this is probably a stupid question my mother in law decided to give Robin my hermann some cooked fish confusing her for a turtle. She loved it! Is it harmful? I know that in the wild she wouldn't get fish so any pointers?

Vegetarian tortoises do seem to relish some animal protein occasionally. It's not harmful on occasion, just not daily.

I wouldn't give fish fixed in oil or with anything on it. If it were poached in plain water or boiled and no spices or salt.

A little bit like that should not harm your tortoise, but it is not something I would recommend or do on purpose. They don't need that.
