A (male) performer gave a fish to a (female) member of the audience, the leader of the group who had sponsored the performance. Now she is trying to figure out what this means–is it an insult, a marriage proposal, or what?
The performer was French, the audience was in Taiwan. I forgot to ask whether the fish was alive or dead, but can if that’s important.
Depends where he put it and how old it was. If it was old and smelly and he shoved it down into the intake of her car’s ventilation system, I’d say he was definitely trying to tell her something.
Whereas, if it was still flapping and fresh and he shoved it down her blouse, that would mean something altogether different. 
If she got anything free out of the French, she’s doing better than most people.
Dinner? At her place!
Hmmm sounds fishy!
Don’t listen to these guys. They’re a bunch of jokers. :loco:
The giving of fish is an old tradition in the Languedoc Roussillon region of France. It just means that he likes you.
The appropriate response is to cook the fish (any style is OK), and when you return it to the gentleman, give him some live frogs (if you like him), or fresh oysters (if you love him). :neutral:
And what are the snails given for??
“fish” in French is “poisson”
“gift” is German for “poison”
Hmmm…
Ancient ritual, only few insiders nowadays know how to respond appropriately.
