Donk is just slang for a bad poker player and very similar to fish. Maybe I would tend to think about a fish as a more passive bad player. Someone who is very focused on trying to make a hand, so he always check and call, until he have something very strong.

A donk to me is a more aggressive but still bad player. Maybe he still limp-call a lot preflop, but he open a bit more hands than the fish, and after the flop he become very aggressive and does a lot of donk betting or check-raising with hands, he should either have check-called or check-folded.

Lets say for example, that the Villain min-raised from middle position, I 3-bet QQ in position, and he called. Flop comes 3 low cards like 742 rainbow, and now out of the blue the Villain goes all in for 3 times, whats already in the pot. I call, and he flip over his K7 offsuit. To me this kind of player is a donk.

A fish on the other hand would limp-call his K7 offsuit and then check-call all the way down, when he flop a pair. He will only get aggressive, if his hand improve to trips or two pair.
