Those holes are called spiracle, all rays and some species of shark have them. They're used for breathing by the ray for oxygenated water to enter and it comes out from its gills from the underside.

That's not a fish, just the texture of its skin that look like a fish.

If you're into surf, you can try your luck for one at Bedok Jetty. I believe someone landed a pretty big one there before. Other than that, night boat fishing is an alternative.
