How Much Is The Fish was released by German Eurodance group Scooter in 1998 as a single from the album No Time to Chill. Frontman H.P. Baxxter built the track around its shouted title question, which became the group's signature hook across Europe. The song was a chart hit in several countries and stayed in Scooter's live sets for years. Online, the short hook escaped the full track and resurfaced in meme edits and soundboards, where its unexplained question about a fish works as a ready made absurd punchline.
