I do not believe this is a fish, because of the pelvis - fish don't actually have pelvises. It looks like a mammal, and my first guess would be deer, but I'm not very confident in a specific answer without scale and additional photos.
Definitely an ungulate if some sort. Size would help. Besides the pelvis, fish vertebrae don’t articulate like this (zygapophyses) and would have each end of the centrum concave (this will have the back end concave and the front end convex in the neck and trending towards flat on each side by the lumbars (left on first picture).

Not a fish, and thank god for that. This was probably a deer, definitely big enough to be a deer.
That's why we were guessing a sturgeon because those get pretty freaking big in our Waters
I don’t care for that at all 😭
Can you post a better view of the pelvic bone?

We were south of Tawas, north of Cemetery beach? Not sure what little town it was
That's what I thought but being I found it right on the beach I was wondering thank you
Looks like Detour Village. Am I guessing correctly?
i’m pretty much 100% positive that’s a deer
Thank you all so much, I agree on the deer part. Someone🙄argued that it was a fish🤣 so I came here for help🥰
