Taking a live fish out of water is like putting a live human in water. If they stay there too long, they choke to death

A fishes gills are designed to take oxygen out of water they will not work unless the oxygen is dissolved in water so yes a fish out of water will choke or asphyxiate if you like.

Why humans drown in water and fish suffocate on land?

Humans drown in water because our respiratory system is not adapted for underwater breathing and we cannot extract oxygen from water like fish can. Fish suffocate on land because their gills cannot extract oxygen from the air, which is less dense and has a different composition than water. Additionally, fish need to stay moist to allow their gills to function properly, which is why they suffocate when exposed to air for extended periods.
