When it comes to handling animals, for eating, dressing and butchering, essentially mean the same thing
...but yeah, I haven't heard many mentions of "butchering" a fish. (and only a little child, would suspect that dressing a fish, is about putting clothes, or a dressing, on it. A child, and/or someone intentionally misinterpreting it, for the sake of punning)
The important point, is that it's absolutely not a carving knife, by any stretch of the imagination. It's made for butchering/dressing fish.
The current gloss is perfectly fine, and accurate. 👍

Why you insist on going by J-E dictionaries, and ignoring the far more reliable J-J dictionaries, Wikipedia (one absolutely should be skeptical of Wikipedia, but that's far more true of Japanese J-E dictionaries, so...), and the general obvious meanings of butchering/dressing vs carving (which one shouldn't need to look up), or look at specific culinary or kitchen knife sources...

  Comments:
I'll go with the JE consensus. "Dressing" is the more usual term for cutting up fish.
