Yes. If you can't use a lens hood, then flag the flash so it only shines on the subject, not the lens. Difficult when you're that close though, try moving the flash so it's behind the lens.

i would post the whole image to show how wide and difficult it was but i'm not allowed.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is it supposed to be? Did it have to be a fisheye?

Fisheyes will always suffer lens flare its just one of them things. Hood will help a little maybe.

Why can you not show the image? Carefully placed flashes will not flair on a fish shooting skate stuff. Try flagging the flashes to stop light hitting the lens

What lens is it as some will control flare a lot better than others ?

What is "flagging the flash"?

What is "flagging the flash"?

Putting a "something" (piece of card, metal flag, anything really) next to the flash to stop the light passing in that direction.
