The only ways that I can think of it as nonconsensual are if
1. A bestiality kind of thing
2. A quid pro quo "I freed you from captivity therefore you must sex me now"
3. A pedophilia statutory rape kinda thing?

The first seems irrelevant because the film emphasizes strongly that fish man is not just some normal dumb animal, but is genuinely intelligent. He begins learning sign language from Eliza no? 2 doesn't seem right because Eliza is not really shown to be the manipulative type at all. 3 I have no idea. Fish man is probably loving ancient.
