How it works
How do I make the fish cutting meme AI video with my own photo?
Upload one photo of yourself (or your dad or grandpa, with their OK) and get a 10-second vertical video: you take a cleaver to a giant fish on a kitchen island, chop fast down its length, stare deadpan at the camera, flex and land the last chop. It's a new AI video of you in your own clothes, not a face pasted into the original clip.
- Add your photo
Upload one sharp photo. One person, face clearly visible. No sign-in, no password and no app: it all happens on this page.
- The AI does the moves
The first heavy chop behind the head → Rapid chops down the whole fish → A one-second deadpan stare → A slow bicep flex → The last chop through the tail
- Post it like the meme
Use the trend's line as your caption and tag the family member who "handles dinner".

Price, refunds, limits and tips
- You need
- One sharp photo. One person, face clearly visible. JPG, PNG or WebP. Nothing else: no prompt to write, no editing.
- Who can be in it
- You or other adults who agreed. No pets in this one.
- You get
- A 10 to 10-second MP4 (9:16) up to 1080p, with cleaver thuds on the counter and a grunt the AI makes (not the trend's audio), no watermark, usually in 2 to 5 minutes.
- Price
- A 10-second 720p video on Seedance 2.0 Mini is $4.99 on its own, one payment. With credits it uses 20 credits (credits from $9.99), or subscribe.
- Limits
- 10 seconds in one fixed shot. The kitchen, the fish and the cleaver are the AI's; your face, hair and clothes come from your photo. Fast chops can blur a little, and the number of slices changes from video to video. No blood and no cuts to the hand. One person per video; adults only, with their OK.
What is the Fish Cutting meme?
On November 3, 2026 an AI clip captioned "POV: Grandpa said he'd handle dinner" showed a very buff, long-haired grandpa chopping a fish that filled the whole kitchen island. It passed 13 million plays in four days, a CapCut template followed, and people started putting their own dad, grandpa or themselves behind the counter. Portuguese-speaking posts call it "picar peixe".
Best photo for a Fish Cutting video
One person, face clearly visible; from the waist or thighs up works best. A tank top or T-shirt makes the flex land.

FAQ
Fish Cutting Meme AI FAQ
Can I make my grandpa or dad the cook?
Yes, if they're an adult and OK with it: upload a clear photo of them instead of you. The AI keeps their face, hair and clothes and gives them the cleaver and the fish.
Is it gory?
No. The fish ends up in clean slices with no blood, and the blade never touches the hand.
Does the cook get the big muscles from the original?
No. The AI keeps the build in your photo; the joke works either way, and the flex at the end is still there.
Does it have the trend's sound?
No. The AI makes the chopping thuds and the grunt. Switch sound off and add the trend's audio in TikTok when you post.
Is it the CapCut template?
No. The template pastes a face into the original clip; here the AI makes a new video of the person in your photo, in their own clothes.
Is Turnly an app, a filter or the official Fish Cutting maker?
No. Turnly is an independent website, not made by or affiliated with the creators of the Fish Cutting meme, TikTok or CapCut. There's no app or live filter: you upload a photo in your browser and get a new AI video. It never uses or edits the original clip.
