It's difficult to tell at this point. Especially given the distinction between Kaiser's and Angel's situations:

Show/Hide Spoiler On the one hand, Kaiser is the one who has the ability to control Fenrir--and possibly other critters--without a bowl; simply put, it's Kaiser's ability as part of her inborn Anima talent. On the other hand, Metalfish are said the be special critters that don't require a bowl; simply put, it's not Angel's ability, it's Metalfish's property.

Now, this may be random semantics, but it can easily mean that even non-Anima individuals can take control of Metalfish for as long as an Anima tames them first; not unlike Pedro and Purple Dementor.

All in all, I wouldn't rush this, Angel is alive and we're likely to meet her again once the story returns on board the Hell Train.
