Please forgive my ignorance, but in bridge terms, what does it mean to call someone a fish?
Maybe Mike Fish Bell might be able to enlighten me on this one.

If you cannot tell, after half an hour at a poker game, who the fish is ..... it's you.

I think this may have originated with Yardley's Education of a Poker Player. His Chinese aide is puzzled by Yardley's use of the term "sucker" and looks it up in a dictionary, which says that it's a type of fish.

The fish is the one who can keep opening his mouth when in over his head.
