I agree the most probable explanation is an Osprey harangued by an eagle dropping that fish, given the observer saw it as something different, presumably smaller, than the eagle. (Not surprising but unfortunate that a town with Seahawks is unfamiliar with Osprey.) I once watched a fight over a fish between two Bald Eagles who eventually dropped the fish over West Seattle, another spot where retrieval could be difficult. I imagined some kid picking up the still live fish in the yard and yelling to unbelieving parents, who demanded to know where the kid got it. "I told you. It fell from the sky!"
