## What is the Fish Cutting Meme trend, and where did it start?

The clip comes from @cowboylew on Instagram, an account that Instagram labels as an AI-generated profile. On 3 November 2026 it posted a 10-second reel: a man in a black cowboy hat and a black T-shirt stands at the island of a modern kitchen and brings a big square cleaver down through a giant silver fish, again and again, in neat, even cuts. The caption said "Precise entries only", and a sticker on the reel said "How my trading entries be #Precise". By 5 November it had 292,476 likes.

The joke comes from trading: a "precise entry" is buying at exactly the right price, and the cleaver lands with that kind of precision every time. Trading accounts reposted it the next day as a trading entries meme, with "POV: How my trading entries be Precise", and a TikTok repost from 3 November passed 383,500 views in two days.

Giant fish cutting was already one of the big niches of short video: on 5 November 2026, #fishcuttingvideo holds 1.54 billion TikTok views and #giantfish 963 million. The fish cutting meme turned that into a trading joke.

### The by-hand way, with the exact prompts

The one-tap flow runs this prompt for you. The video prompt animates your own photo directly. To change it, copy it and edit it in AI Video.

#### Variant: You

Settings: 1 photo (you, face to the camera) · Seedance 2.5 · 10 s · 720p · 9:16 · no sound · 152 credits in one tap.

1. The video prompt is filled in. Settings: Seedance 2.5, 10 s, 720p, 9:16, sound off. The video prompt:

   ```text
   Recreate the reference video [Video 1] shot for shot: the same modern kitchen at night with light wood cabinets, a second white island with dark bar stools behind, pendant lamps and a white door, the same giant silver fish lying across the white counter in front, the same big square kitchen cleaver, the same fixed front camera, the same wide 16:9 framing, the same single continuous take, timing and moves. The ONLY change: the big man in the black cowboy hat and black T-shirt who cuts the fish is now the person in [Image 1].

[Image 1] is the sole face reference for that person, and [Video 1] gives only the moves, the setting, the timing and the camera.

The cook = the person in [Image 1], in EVERY frame: copy the exact face from [Image 1] - face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles exactly as in the photo - and the body build of [Image 1]. The same real person in every frame, so their friends instantly recognize them, also when the head tips down over the fish. Never morph, never drift back to the face of the man in [Video 1], never add or remove facial hair. NO beard and NO moustache unless [Image 1] shows them. NO bracelet and NO watch unless [Image 1] shows them. The cook wears the black cowboy hat and a plain black T-shirt from [Video 1], over their own hair from [Image 1]; the hat sits a little back so the face stays in view, and the T-shirt has no print and no logo. If [Image 1] shows an animal, the cook is that animal standing upright behind the counter, with its own face, fur and markings and two human hands that hold the fish and the cleaver.

THE ACTION, matching [Video 1] second by second:
Shot 1 [0-10 s]: one continuous take, no cuts. The cook stands behind the white counter, one hand flat on the giant fish to hold it steady, and works down its length from behind the head toward the tail with the big cleaver: lifts the cleaver high, brings it straight down through the fish, lifts it again. Clean cuts at about 1.3 s, 3.1 s, 4.1 s, 5.0 s, 6.0 s, 7.0 s, 8.0 s, 8.5 s and 9.2 s, each a little further toward the tail, so the fish ends up in neat, even sections. At the end the cook lays the cleaver down on the counter by the tail. The same speed, rhythm and arm swing as the cook in [Video 1]. A calm, focused, serious face the whole time, eyes on the fish, never smiling at the camera.

Plain kitchen food prep: the fish stays silver outside and pale inside, with clean straight cut lines.

Anatomy rules: one head only, on the cook's shoulders. Two arms and two hands, five fingers on each hand, one cleaver. Exactly one person in the kitchen. Keep everything else the same: the kitchen, the counter, the fish, the cleaver, the light and the camera. No dialogue throughout the entire video. No background music. No text, no captions, no stickers, no logos, no watermark.

The ONLY change: the big man in the black cowboy hat who cuts the fish is now the pet in [Image 1], standing upright behind the counter like a person.

[Image 1] is the sole look reference for the pet, and [Video 1] gives only the moves, the setting, the timing and the camera.

The cook = the pet in [Image 1], in EVERY frame: the same species and breed, head shape, face, eyes, eye color, ears, muzzle, fur colors, fur length and markings as in [Image 1], with the natural head proportions of that animal: never flattened, squashed, stretched or merged with anything, so its owner instantly recognizes it. Whether [Image 1] shows a dog, a cat or another animal, it stays that animal. It stands upright behind the counter in the man's place, its head and shoulders above the counter like his, in the same black cowboy hat, sitting on its head behind its own ears, and a plain black T-shirt with no print. Instead of front paws it has two human arms and two human hands with five fingers, the skin the same color as the fur around them: one hand holds the fish steady, the other swings the cleaver. Never drift back to the man in [Video 1]: no human face, no human head, no beard, no bracelet, no watch. Its own animal face in every frame, also when the head tips down over the fish.

### Which photo works best?

Upload **one photo**: of yourself for You, of your pet for Pet.

- **You:** chest up, face to the camera, sharp and in good light. The camera sits across the kitchen, so your face is not a close-up: a clear, front-facing face matters most.
- With **Cowboy hat** you get the black cowboy hat and black T-shirt of the reel; with **Your look** you keep the clothes from your photo and no hat.
- No sunglasses and no beauty filter. If you wear glasses every day, keep them on.
- **Pet:** one animal, the face and both ears clear, eyes open, in daylight. The fur colors and markings come from your photo; the cowboy hat, the T-shirt and the human hands that hold the cleaver come from the template.
- Any background works: the kitchen, the fish and the cleaver come from the reel.
- Use your own photo, a friend who said yes, or your own pet. Never a celebrity, a stranger or a child.

## How many credits does it cost?

You pay per video in credits, and the create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything. The one-tap price covers the scene photo and the video, charged once. The cheaper models are there if you run the prompts by hand in AI Video.

| Video model | Settings | Credits |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Seedance 2.5 (this template) | 10 s, 720p, copies the trend clip, one tap | 152 |

Credits come with a plan; see [pricing](https://www.makeviral.ai/pricing). A failed video gives its credits back.

## What happens in the fish cutting meme video, second by second?

Your video copies the reel in one continuous shot from across the kitchen. The kitchen, the giant fish and the cleaver stay; only the cook changes:

| Time | What happens | You | Pet |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 to 1.3 s | Lift | You stand at the island, one hand on the fish, and raise the cleaver high | Your pet stands upright at the island and raises the cleaver in its human hand |
| 1.3 s | First chop | The cleaver comes down through the fish behind the head | The same chop |
| 1.5 to 8 s | The rhythm | Lift, chop, lift, chop, each cut a little further down the fish | The same rhythm, a serious face the whole time |
| 8 to 10 s | The last cuts | Two more quick chops near the tail, then the cleaver goes down on the counter | The same, and the fish lies in even sections |

**How it works:** top-quality AI video models, including Seedance 2.5, edit the reel itself: they put the person or pet from your photo in the cook's place and keep the kitchen, the fish, the cleaver, the timing and the camera. You get 10 seconds at 720p, wide 16:9 like the reel, with the reel's own chop sounds put back after the run, so every chop lands on its sound. A run takes 5 to 15 minutes, and the exact price shows on the Generate button before you spend anything. Every run is a new take, so results differ.

**Why is it wide and not vertical?** The giant fish lies across the whole counter. A vertical crop would cut off the head or the tail and lose the joke, so the template keeps the reel's wide frame. It still plays on TikTok, Reels and Shorts.

## Cowboy hat, your look or your pet: which one should you make?

- **You, Cowboy hat** keeps the meme's look: the black cowboy hat and the plain black T-shirt from the reel, with your face. This is the one people recognize at once.
- **You, Your look** keeps your own clothes from the photo and no hat. Pick it when the hat would hide too much of you, or when you want it to look like your own kitchen moment.
- **Pet** puts your dog, cat or other pet at the island in the cowboy hat and T-shirt, standing upright like a person, with two human hands that hold the fish and swing the cleaver. The "pet with human hands" look is a meme of its own, and a dead-serious cat cutting fish is the funniest version. A cat cutting fish meme or a dog cutting fish meme: both come from the same Pet version.

**Caption ideas:** "How my trading entries be precise", "Precise entries only", "Me cutting my position sizes", "Me splitting the bill to the cent", "My cat when the fish is for dinner". Or write your own.

## What goes wrong, and how do you fix it?

| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| The face looks a little like the man in the reel (You) | His face is small in the wide shot and often under the hat brim. Use a sharp, front-facing photo, chest up, and run it again. Your look (no hat) shows more of your face. |
| You get a beard you do not have | The man in the reel has a beard. The prompt bans it unless your photo shows one. Run it again with a clear photo. |
| A cut lands a little off its sound | The chops follow the reel, and the sound goes on after the run. A small offset can happen; run it again for a new take. |
| A hand looks odd on the cleaver | Fast swings blur in the reel too. Run it again. |
| Your pet gets paws instead of hands, or a human face (Pet) | The prompt asks for human hands and your pet's own face. Use a close photo with the face and ears clear, and run it again. |
| The model refuses a photo | Some photos get refused. The credits come back; try another photo. |

## Which sound, caption and hashtags should you post it with?

Your clip comes with the reel's own sound, the same 10 seconds of chops, so it is ready to post. There is no music and no speech. You can turn the sound off on the result screen. The sound belongs to its owner, and MakeViral gives you no rights to it.

**Hashtags:** #fishcuttingvideo (1.54 billion TikTok views on 5 November 2026), #fishcutting (1.09 billion), #giantfish (963 million) and #preciseentries. For the trading joke, #tradingmemes (728 million views) fits. Keep the platform's AI label on.

**Keep it a joke.** Make it with your own face, your own pet or a friend who said yes.

## Fish Cutting Meme trend questions

### What is the fish cutting meme?

It is a viral reel from 3 November 2026: a big man in a black cowboy hat stands at a kitchen island and cuts a giant fish with a huge cleaver, chop after chop, into perfectly even sections. Traders share it as the precise entries meme, with the caption "how my trading entries be precise".

### Where does the fish cutting meme come from? Is this the original?

The fish cutting meme original is a reel by @cowboylew on Instagram, posted on 3 November 2026 with the caption "Precise entries only". Instagram labels the account as an AI-generated profile. We found no earlier copy of the clip; the TikTok reposts and the trading versions came after it.

### What does "precise entries" mean?

In trading, an entry is the price where you buy into a trade, and a precise entry is one that hits exactly the right price. The fish cutting meme trading joke compares those perfect entries to the cleaver landing in perfectly even cuts. "Precise entries only" is the reel's own caption, and trading memes use the clip for that joke.

### Can I make the fish cutting meme with my face?

Yes. Pick You, choose Cowboy hat or Your look, and add one clear photo. Your face goes on the cook in every frame, and the kitchen, the giant fish, the cleaver and the chops stay as in the reel.

### Can my cat or dog do the fish cutting meme?

Yes. Pick Pet. Your pet stands at the island in the cowboy hat and T-shirt with two human hands and cuts the giant fish, chop for chop. Use a sharp photo of one animal with the face and ears clear. It works for a cat cutting fish meme and a dog cutting fish meme alike.

### Is the fish cutting video real?

The original reel comes from an account that Instagram labels as AI-generated. Your video is made by AI from one still photo: nobody filmed it. Keep the AI label on when you post it.

### How do I make an AI fish cutting video?

Press "Create your own", pick You or Pet and add one photo. Press Generate; the button shows the price first. You get a 10-second clip with the chop sounds, and it waits in My videos when it is ready. You write no prompt.

### Which prompt does this fish cutting AI trend template use?

No prompt exists for this trend: the reel's account shared none, and no tutorial or template site had one on 5 November 2026. This template uses our own prompt, written in the shape that works best for copying a reel: the kitchen, the fish and the camera stay, the cook is the person or pet in your photo, and every chop keeps its moment.

### How long is the video and what format is it?

10 seconds as an MP4 at 720p, wide 16:9 like the reel, with the reel's own chop sounds and no music. It plays on TikTok, Reels and Shorts, and there is no watermark and no caption sticker.

### Does the fish cutting meme cost credits?

Yes. Each video costs credits, and the create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything. If a video fails, the credits come back.

### Is the fish cutting meme the same as a giant fish cutting video on TikTok?

Giant fish cutting is a huge niche of its own: fishmongers cut tuna and other giant fish on camera, and #fishcuttingvideo holds 1.54 billion TikTok views. The giant fish cutting meme is one short clip of it with a trading joke on top. This page makes that big fish cutting video with you or your pet as the cook.

### Who is the cowboy cutting fish in the meme?

The cowboy cutting fish meme comes from the @cowboylew account, which Instagram labels as an AI-generated profile. This page does not use his face: in your video, your photo takes his place in every frame.
