No you can not. Any fish or meat left unrefrigerated or not kept at a certain temperature will spoil. The longer it's kept out the more bacteria builds up in the fish. If you eat spoiled fish you will get extremely ill with food poisoning. You can eat leftover regrigerated fish for up to 3 days.

If the fish is freshly caught, it is okay to use it within 12 hours. If the fish has been defrosted and then kept out, you cannot consume it.
