* [[The Penguins Of Madagascar WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar]] episode "Huffin and Puffin" has Skipper fighting Hans the Puffin with fish. Dialogue in Hans' second appearance suggests "fish fighting" is always how they fight.

* Buford does this in a ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbMissionMarvel special.]] On the recieving end? [[spoiler: [[ComicBook/RedSkull The Red Skull]]]]

* The ''VideoGame/LEGOPiratesOfTheCaribbean'' game has multiple examples:

-->'''Jean-Pierre:''' [[JustForPun Just for the halibut.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Bug}}'' had the boss of [[UnderTheSea Quaria]], a giant octopus. In its first phase, it was a BackgroundBoss that used its tentacles to grab dogfish (fish with the heads and collars of a dog) and throw them at Bug, who countered by [[TennisBoss using a tennis racket to swat the dogfish back into its head]].

* You can do this to enemies in ''VideoGame/SleepingDogs''. You even get an achievement for it!

* In the CBBC office, presenter Iain Stirling hit fellow presenter, Hacker, (A puppet dog) on the back of the head with a fish, apparently knocking him out, people started requesting that Chris and Ben hit Hacker with the fish too... leading to new presenter Katie forcefully hitting Ben and Chris with the fish, this seemingly knocked them out.

* In ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'', Gru's rival Vector seems to have an obsession with [[AbnormalAmmo guns that shoot sea creatures]], given his gushing over his "piranha gun" and his "squid launcher".
* In ''Jonah: A WesternAnimation/VeggieTales Movie'', Ninevites are notorious for slapping people with fishes. Also, their preferred method of execution is "The Slap Of No Return," which involves the victim being smashed with a gigantic metal fish.

* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'' has the Luxurious Sea-Lord, a large fish used as a claymore-type weapon as an Event weapon.

** In ''Literature/TheScienceOfDiscworld'', the mages are forced to move in time and change history when it turns out Creator/WilliamShakespeare was killed with a fish (halibut?) during some riots.
*** The scene involves [[BladeOnAStick polearm]] [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant confusion]]:

*** Later in the book, the precautions they take during the play include leaving a fishmonger unconscious in an alley.

* ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'': The [[EverythingIsBetterWithPenguins Prinnies]] in the anime version.

* ''VideoGame/DeadCells'' features the Maw Of The Deep as part of the Queen And The Sea DLC. It's a Survival-type weapon whose three-hit combo involves two swings with a live, wiggling shark and then throwing the shark at a foe, where it will latch on teeth-first. [[VideoGameCaringPotential There's an achievement for tossing it back into a body of water where it'll presumably be happier than being used to beat up zombies]].

* ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' features a frozen Speartuna, classified as a Great Sword and wielded as such. It has crummy attack power (albeit with [[NotCompletelyUseless great Ice elemental damage,)]] so it and the other food-themed weapons (fork and knife set, frying pan, what have you) are just there for laughs.
** ''Tri'' gives us the Sharq Attaq, which is a Lance that consists of a [[ThreateningShark Sharq]]. Not a Sharq-themed spear. Not a spear shaped like a Sharq. ''An actual Sharq''.
*** As if that weren't awesome enough, the Sharq Attaq comes with a shield... in the form of a ''"No Swimming" sign.''
** ''World'' introduces the Whetfish Sabers, which are a pair of Dual Blades made from, [[ShapedLikeItself you guessed it,]] two whole Whetfish. [[SlidingScaleOfGameplayAndStoryIntegration They even have the Protective Polish skill inbuilt]].
** ''Rise'' gives us the Shieldraad, Morsel Bowfish and Springnight Shot weapons, which are a Charge Blade, bow, and a freaking ''gun'' that all take the shape of a whole fish.

* At one point in ''Franchise/LupinIII'' vs ''Manga/CaseClosed'', while running from the police Lupin swipes some fish from a market and uses them to fend off the officers.

[[folder:Comics]]
* ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'' frequently features "Assault with a Deadly Tuna", courtesy of the village's resident fishmonger.
** Although opinions may vary on whether it is getting slapped with them or simply their smell that poses the greater danger to your health... Either way, negative comments on the quality of the fishmonger's products always results in a big fight pretty much all men of the village partake in.
* Pictured above, Heroic Publishing's ''Comicbook/{{Flare}}'' (not to be confused with ComicBook/BlackCanary) is [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot hitting a gorilla with a shark]]...a gorilla ''in a spacesuit''...while standing in a dinosaur's mouth...wearing high heels...being stared at by a robot... with [=UFOs=] and a nuclear explosion in the background.

* Usagi from ''ComicBook/UsagiYojimbo'' once beat up a couple of thugs with a very silly-looking octopus.
** It should be noticed that this is a rather {{troperiffic}} example, as it was included specifically because of Stan Sakai's exposure to the page picture via Scott Shaw!'s blog- one of the thugs getting fish-slapped was, in fact, a toon version of Shaw! (and yes, the exclamation point is part of his name).

* Red Witch's ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' fanfic ''[[https://m.fanfiction.net/s/8152907/1/Troutball-The-Gentlemen-s-Sport Troutball: The Gentlemen's Sport]]'' introduces... Troutball, the "sport of gentlemen who don't have any money. Or common sense." A variation on baseball, it uses a beach ball and a six-pound plastic fish instead of a baseball and baseball bat, has five bases instead of four, and a seventh-inning doughnut run instead of the seventh-inning stretch. Also, instead of dropping the fish when running around the bases, they get to hold onto it and try to hit the other players as they go past. To counter this, the opposing team has the Bass Whacker (named such due to RuleOfFunny, who tries to knock the runner down with their own plastic fish. About the only restrictions are that they can't use fish with sharp ends (like swordfish), or fish that are too heavy (like large plastic tuna) or too small (like goldfish). Also, there are no rules preventing the players from going OffTheRails and just dueling one another with their fish mid-run, which naturally winds up happening during the game's demonstration.

* ''FanFic/TotalDramaLegacy'': The cannons used in "Water You Gonna Do?" shoot fish. Specifically, the Classic Cobras' cannon shoots "killer bass", and the Modern Mandrills' cannon shoots "floating salmon".

* In ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids'', one of the more bizarre ability of the cheddar monks is the spell Summon Bigger Fish. A RunningGag, it causes a giant fish to fall out of the air on someone, squashing them. However, there is every reason to believe that this ability only exists in [[CloudCuckooLander Jim]]'s head. (The one occasion the DM had enough and allowed it to be cast wasn't a canon strip.)

* In ''Thimble Theater'', Popeye is knocked overboard when his crew mutinies in the 8th Sea Arc. Climbs back aboard with a mackerel in hand, and proceeds to slap one tough with it.
