"Fish" is a noun used in poker-speak to refer to a very poor player who makes lots of mistakes, and tends to give away money to better players. Some theorize that this term came into common usage for weak players after the term "shark" (a shortened form of "card shark", which is in mainstream USA English) became common to refer to strong players. Sharks eat fish --- hence the term.
Some "fishes" are doing "lots of mistakes" on purpose just to let the other players think they are weak just until the "big pot"; so, when you meet a shark dissimulated in a fish and you don't notice that on time, you're screwed. UK birth certificate (http://www.ukreplacementcertificate.co.uk/)
