there are a lot of ways to increase your calories eating only fish, i don't eat any other meat either and could easily achieve 1800 lol. if you're avoiding carbs try fats, they can be very satisfying (for some) and are calorie dense. try cooking your fish with a bit of butter, have some avocado, peanut butter or cheese. try some fattier fish like salmon.

i have a great salmon recipe where i pan fry it in kerrygold garlic herb butter and olive oil with cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives and artichoke hearts. it's a splurge meal for me, but it could help if you're trying to add calories.

tuna salad or egg salad with full fat mayo can also give you a boost.

nuts & seeds, nut butters, eggs, cheese, yogurt and other full fat dairy items, and soy products (might pose a carb concern in your case though, have to look at the nutrition facts here) are a few of the things I can think of off hand that are higher protein/fat.

You probably need to stay away from anything low fat so you can try to get the calories in there.

Avocados, Hummus, nuts and nut butters (like peanut butter) are all relatively low in carbs and higher in calories. I also eat only fish or seafood (no meat) and these are things that I have to measure carefully and enjoy in moderation because of the calories but they are also great for people with pre-diabetes because they are high in good fats (monounsaturated) and good sources of magnesium, other minerals and vitamins and high in fiber.
