I was just discussing how much I would like to slap an associate with a wet fish, and the lightbulb appeared!
Slapping folks with wet fish is difficult, as the combination of the scales and the mucous coating of the fish make it very hard to hold onto. If you imagine a large and heavy adult salmon
for example, if you really wanted to hurt the slappee, you'd need a good two handed grip.
So I would propose a rubberised sleeve, fastened with a ski-boot fastening type clip, with a securely attached outer layer of highly grippy material, such as that found on climbing gloves. This would be available in a range of sizes to fit the tail of various species of fish just forward of the tailfin.
Slap away!
if do right, no can defend

I think you'd need a series of tiny spikes to get a really good grip - that seems to be how they do it in the wild e.g. predatory fish's teeth etc. |

hold it between your teeth then. |

[po] just helped me imagine a Shao-lin type monastery in the mountains with a dozen novices fighting each other with large fish held between their teeth. This is a great image. Thank you! |

"He fights well with that fish!"
"Yes, he's a student of the 5 Haddock Exploding Prawn style."

Try using a turkey instead - interlacing your fingers with the talons gives a very snug grip. |

Breaking News: A suspect was taken into custody early this morning in connection with the brutal beating of an associate. The man allegedly struck the victim repeatedly with a large salmon. Witnesses say he was swinging the fish like a club and laughing maniacally during the incident while yelling something about replacing a toner cartridge over and over. A lawyer for the defense stated that his client was unaware of proper fish slapping procedures and expressed condolences to the victim and his family for this "tragic misunderstanding". Under the law, striking a person with the head end of a fish constitutes assault and battery with a deadly weapon. The man faces 20 years to life if convicted. Additional charges may be filed by the Department of Fish and Wildlife. |

Use pliers. This is how I grab fish, take out hook, slap at face, etc. |

You could have one shaped like a sword hilt for renaissance fairs. The fish in the stone. |
