THE SHORT ANSWER
A boss kill and its quest hand-in are separate. Keep the distinctive trophy rather than ordinary meat, return to the quest giver, finish the dialogue, and check for the next route marker.

What to check
Players stuck after Giant Piranha were told to return its distinctive quest trophy rather than meat. Published walkthroughs describe the same separation between the kill and the NPC hand-in.
Reported guidance · Inspect source ↗A Pufferfish thread’s accepted reply likewise points to the distinctive half-fish trophy rather than chunks. Search the fight area, carry it to the floaties-wearing quest giver and finish the dialogue.
Reported guidance · Inspect source ↗Keep every named boss trophy until a new route marker appears. If the NPC refuses it, confirm the quest stage and source NPC before discarding anything.

Check the result
The quest giver accepts the intended trophy and the next navigation marker appears.
If it goes wrong
Check the quest stage and giver. A replacement radar does not finish a missing hand-in.
