When sailors returned home from a voyage, they would be paid off in one lump sum. Most would then stay at shoreside establishments catering to sailors until their money ran out. When that happened, the owners ("crimps") would advance money so that the sailors could purchase more food, rum and "companionship" at that establishment at inflated prices.
For centuries, it was common practice to give a sailor one month's wage in advance when they signed on for a voyage. This advance was intended for the purchase of needed clothing and other gear before departure. Often times this money went to repay the crimps. By the middle of the 19th century, captains were paying the advances directly to crimps for providing crew, bypassing the poor sailor. Thus, most sailors would be working only for their food for the first month of a voyage.
This food was supposed to mostly consist of salt beef. Food provisioners, whenever they could get away with it (which was quite often), would substitute much cheaper and chewier salt horse for a portion of the salt beef. Even when salt beef was provided, some of it would have been in casks for years before being given to the crew to eat, making it as hard to chew as salt horse. It was quite usual for the crew to refer to their food as salt horse when it was bad, or dead horse if it was worse than bad.
So, for the first month the sailors were working only for their food, their salt horse, their dead horse. They were said to be "working off their dead horse," and were referred to as dead horses themselves. Flogging them to get them to work harder was a waste of energy. Thus, "you can't beat a dead horse" to get any more work done.
Seamen Smith is still working off a dead horse until we hit our next port.

Derived from the obvious lack of enthusiasm and energy of a dead fish caught out of water, being or feeling like a dead fish simply means that you just want to crash in bed and hibernate until you regain your energy and are capable of performing basic functions. Until then, you are a dead fish.
-Want to do something tonight?
-I can't; I'm a dead fish. Was up all night yesterday.

A bland and monotonous television series about survival in a zombie apocalypse. While originally based on a well conceived and poignant graphic novel series, the show features scene ruining child actors, particularly Chandler Riggs as 'Carl", and is followed by a pointless, self aggrandizing talk show 'Talking Dead' featuring b-list celebrities.
The Walking Dead
Rick Grimes: "Carl I need you to stay here; it's my job as your father."
Carl Grimes: "NO DAD, I CAN HELP!"
Rick Grimes: "No."
Carl Grimes: (pouty face)
