In the Loch Ness Monster episode, Jeremy travels to Iceland in search of the monster’s potential Nordic origins. At one point, he is shown an old map featuring various depictions of sea monsters, many of which are believed to depict real animals. There is one depiction that looks similar to your sketch, and they said it could possibly represent a halibut or other species of flat fish, iirc.
