No it wasn't. It was DreamWorks' answer to Finding Nemo, all in CGI
Do you know how motion capture works?
I guess I misread that and thought you meant stop motion.
Either way, I looked it up and it's not MoCap. The animators just intentionally modeled the faces and mannerisms of the fish to the actors.

https://don-bluth-animation-fanon.fandom.com/wiki/Shark_Tale#:~:text=Shark%20Tale%20is%20a%202004,Vicky%20Jenson%20and%20Rob%20Letterman.
That lists Matthew Broderick as Oscar... Pretty sure that was Will Smith...
Also, never thought I'd get into an online argument over Shark Tale. This has been fun
I like to think of them less like arguments and more like aggressive sharing of information.
And fair. I really only skimmed the article where it said all the main actors names and motion capture.
Though I still feel like some mocap was used since mocap has been around since the 90's
