A man with plastic bags over his hands can then be seen trying to grab the fish.

But as he made contact, he turned squirmish and laughingly looked back at the man behind the camera. His friends egged him on, calling him a “city boy”.

The man rallied on and made a second attempt at grabbing the fish. This time, the fish slipped out of his grasp and began flapping about on the floor.

But the third time’s the charm and he later managed to get a hold of the fish.

 

Hilariously, he then crab-walked his way towards a fish tank in the seafood section of the supermarket.

In the heat of the moment, the man then hurled the fish into the fish tank before falling onto the ground.

This happened just as the man behind the camera said, “Don’t flop it in!”.

The friends then dissolved into laughter at what they had just done and the video ended as the man said, “You just saved a S$12 fish“.

This incident appeared to have taken place at the Giant supermarket at Loyang Point.

The video soon went viral, garnering over 94,000 views at the time of writing.

A commendable effort

While some might not agree with the way the fish was hurled back into the tank, it’s safe to say the ‘rescuer’ did his very best.

It is certainly a commendable effort on the ‘city boy”s part to save the fish.

After all, not many of us will go the distance to save a fish we find flapping about a supermarket floor.
