The Giant Glimmerfish is a gigantic neutral fish mob that starts at the top of the river system & gradually swims downstream.

If you get offered the quest just fly along the river until you find it - despite being gigantic the nature of the slow progress downstream means you can get proximity offered the quest while you're well out of sight of the fish.

You attack the fish, scales drop off, and you loot the scales.

Once enough have been looted the event is over. No need to keep attacking it constantly, no need to hand the scales in to any NPCs - just hit, loot & repeat.

Seems bugged (at least for some servers.) The objective pops up on your screen when in the vicinity of the river, but going up and down it shows no giant glimmerfish.

The Giant Glimmerfish spawns at 46.42, 86.77 in Zaralek Cavern,

It follows the water path dropping down from all waterfalls until it reaches lava in 40.83, 58.31,

Once it reaches lava, it despawns,

To collect scales you have to hit it (a single hit is just enough) and collect all dropped scales, you can track the progress of the quest by hovering over Giant Glimmerfish and it will display % of collected scales above its head.

Quest is provided when you fly over it.

I hit it right before the lava and collected about 4-5 scales - obviously not enough since the quest shows 0/1 scales...

Glimmerfish Before It's Gone is the Zaralek Cavern remake of the Shadowlands World quest An Apple A Day.

In Zereth Mortis we pestered the giant geomental Crispin and apples fell off his shoulders.

In Zaralek Cavern watch for the spawn alert in Chat:

A giant fish has been spotted near Glimmerogg!
Drogbar Crystal-collector yells: Hit that fish! Grab the scales before it goes in the magma!

Giant Glimmerfish shrugs off your hits and drops a few large blue scales into the water and on to the banks of the stream. Pick up the Glimmerfish Scales and chase the fish. Strike again, pick up scales. When Giant Glimmerfish reaches the lavastream, it disappears.

Some tips:

Fly to this as soon as you see the quest spawn (esp. if no-one else around) in the South-West of the cavern
/way 45.6 85.2 Glimmerfish
You need to hit it, follow it along the river and collect 50 scales
The fish has a buff which shows how many you've collected so far
Try not to hit the Towering Deepstriders - they have a lot of health and do a fear which will delay you
When it reaches the lava at the event will end & you cannot spawn any new scales
