Morphology
The meaning 'a loaf-shaped dish made from fish' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'fish' (food) with 'loaf' (a shaped mass of baked food). This straightforward noun‑noun composition (ingredient + form) follows common naming patterns for foods and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Fish loaf probably comes from a simple kitchen idea: cooks mixed flaked fish with breadcrumbs and seasonings and put the mix into a 'loaf' tin like for bread. They baked it so it kept a bread-like shape and could be cut into slices, so the name fish loaf now means a loaf-shaped fish dish.
