I now live in one of the regions where Olddutch was not spoken, apart from the fact that only fish lived here. So major conversation would be something like blub, blub.

Indeed very few texts have survided from those time (500 - 1150 AD)
Text from those times can probably only be written in runes or in latin script. Those who wrote it down in latinscript were also versed in latin.
Here the Nothsea Germanlanguages are mentioned and a connection between Oldfisian, Oldenglish and oldsaxon. With special ties between Oldfrisian and Oldenglish, but I beleive you mentioned the latter already.
All very interesting if one is interested in languages, unfortunale I am not one of them.
