These are tropes about fish, both real and metaphorical. The hobby of fishing also counts.

Also [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shark Sharks]], [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eel eels]], and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamprey lampreys]] are included because they are all types of fish. SisterTrope of AquaticAnimalTropes. For part human, part fish beings, see MerTropes.
