About this sound

The viral 2012 'have a look, one pound fish' jingle by London fishmonger Muhammad Shahid Nazir. Creators drop it over funny sales, bargain and market memes.

This is the instantly recognisable market-stall chant 'have a look, one pound fish, very very good, one pound fish', sung in a cheerful, rhythmic sing-song by fishmonger Muhammad Shahid Nazir over the chatter of a busy street market. The voice is warm and salesman-like, repeating the catchy price call in a bouncy cadence that burrows into your head within seconds. It lands with a grin: part street-cry nostalgia, part absurd earworm, turning any clip into a cheeky bargain-bin pitch.

Pro tip

Drop the 'have a look' line exactly as a cheap item appears on screen, then cut the music out right after 'very very good' for a punchline beat. Layer faint market ambience underneath rather than loud background music, and never stretch the clip or it loses its chant rhythm.

How people use it

Advertising a cheap or funny product in a skit.
Mocking overpriced items with a bargain twist.
Spicing up fish, food or market footage.
Celebrating a lucky deal or discount win.

Warner Music signed him and released 'One Pound Fish' as a charity-leaning single that charted in the UK that December.
