I've had a start similar to that (though with even more fish) and it was one of the easiest I've ever played. Loads of specialists gave one of the most powerful capitals I've ever had, which compensated for having nothing else but tiny ice islands within reach for much of the game. I think I've still got a screenshot of it somewhere.
Regarding the first one: Since you play an archipelago map such a start is to be expected. Seeing as how you got pretty good resources and you can beeline to sailing I fail to see the problem. Building a strong navy will be of tremendous importance anyway on such a map.
