How to Sign "Fish" in American Sign Language (ASL)

In ASL, "fish" is signed by extending your dominant hand horizontally, palm facing down, and wiggling your hand side to side like a fish swimming through water. The sign copies how a fish moves its tail. You can use this sign to mean both the swimming animal and the food we eat. When you want to talk about fishing, just add signs like "catch" or "hunt" to the fish sign. This simple sign is known by ASL users everywhere, and new learners find it easy to remember because it looks just like how real fish move in water.
