Six little fish in a goldfish bowl
Swimming in a golden shoal.
Fry the fish, and when they're done
Six little fish are turned to one.

Assuming I'm not eating my daughter's goldfish, what am I eating?

    $\begingroup$ @RiddlerNewComer Hm. Do riddles need an explicit question? I'm looking at this for comparison. Does adding "What is this?" change anything? $\endgroup$

How about

You're eating an omelette.

Because

The "gold fish" represent the golden yolks of eggs. They "swim" around in the egg whites. In the process of making an omelette (using a frying pan), these yolks will be broken down and mixed together, creating a single delicious mass of yellow egg.

Did you turn them into a fish cake? The stuff where you get all the meat. Mince it and add various ingredients before pan frying it?

My thought !

Little goldfishes eat each other until one is remaining...!

Fry the fish, and when they're done

They were young and they're done means they have grown/eaten.[fry : the young of various species of fish!!]
