One cook, one photo
A single head-and-shoulders photo casts the cook. Your face, hair and skin tone replace the reference cook's, and the pose, the swing and the deadpan stare stay.

How to make it
Add a photo for each role shown below. All roles need a photo.
- 01
Upload the cook
Use one clear head-and-shoulders photo, face forward, hair fully visible and no hat. A pet photo works too: the animal stands behind the counter with its own face and markings.

Choose quality and review credits
Pick 720p or 1080p. The quote covers the whole 10-second video.
- 03
Check the cuts
Watch the hand on the fish and the cleaver on every chop, and that the face stays calm. Download the 16:9 MP4 with the chop sounds.
The cowboy hat stays
The black cowboy hat and the plain black shirt are part of the joke, so the cook wears them over your own hair. There is no print, lettering or logo on the shirt, and the reference cook's bracelet is not kept.
Dead-even chops, one fish
The cleaver lifts and comes straight down again and again from behind the head toward the tail, and the fish stays on the counter in its original shape with clean straight cut lines. The kitchen, the counter and the camera do not move.
The chop sounds come back
Your video keeps the clip's own sound, put back at the end of the run. The chops follow the original rhythm, so check that each one lands near its sound. The clip has no music and no speech.

- Head and shoulders, face forward
- Hair fully visible, no hat in the photo
- One person or one pet per photo
- Your own face under the template's hat

Questions & answers
What is the Fish Cutting Meme AI trend?
It is a 10-second landscape clip shot from across a modern kitchen: a big cook in a black cowboy hat stands behind a white counter, holds a giant silver fish steady with one hand and brings a huge cleaver straight down through it again and again, in neat, even cuts. His face never changes. Oakgen's template puts the person or pet from your photo behind the counter and keeps the kitchen, the fish, the swing and the timing.
Is this the precise entries meme?
Yes. The same clip is shared as the precise entries meme, because traders caption it as a joke about entering a trade at exactly the right price: the cleaver lands exactly where it should every time. It is also called cowboy fish cutting, giant fish cutting, the fish chopping trend and the fish cutting meme. Oakgen has one template for all of them, under the name Fish Cutting Meme.
Is it the "Grandpa said he'd handle dinner" video?
It is the same kitchen, fish and cleaver. "POV: Grandpa said he'd handle dinner" is a caption people put on versions of the clip, with a grandfather, a daughter or a friend behind the counter. Here you cast one person or pet from your own photo, so you can use any of those captions on your video.
Do I need a cowboy hat in my photo?
No. The black cowboy hat and the plain black shirt belong to the template and the cook wears them over your own hair. For the best likeness upload a photo without a hat, with your hair and face fully visible.
Is there music or speech in the video?
No. The clip has chop sounds and nothing else: no music and no speech. Your video keeps those original sounds, and the chops follow the original rhythm.
Can I use my dog or cat?
Yes. Choose one clear photo that shows the animal's face and markings. The animal stands upright behind the counter, keeps its own fur and eyes, and works the fish and the cleaver with two human-shaped hands. Paws and hands in fast chops can look odd, so review the result before you post it.
Will the fish keep its shape?
That is the aim. The fish should stay on the counter in its original shape, silver outside and pale inside, with clean straight cut lines, no blood, no spill and no pieces flying apart. If a run breaks the fish, generate again.
Is the preview made with Oakgen?
No. The preview is the reference clip the template follows, not a video made from your photo. Your video has your face or your pet in the cook's place.
How long is the video?
10 seconds in 16:9 landscape, one continuous take from the first raised cleaver to the cleaver laid down by the tail.
Is it safe to copy for real?
No. It is a joke clip and the chops land very close to the hand holding the fish. Do not try the near-miss chopping with a real knife. Label the video as AI-made when you post it.
How much does it cost?
531 credits per 720p video. The quote covers the complete video. Check it before generating.
