Fish bone as foreign body in throat is very common in otorhinolaryngology practice. But a live fish in oropharynx is very rare. Small fishes, if ingested, can cross the oral cavity and migrate to esophagus, nasopharynx, or airway, but large fishes get impacted in the oropharynx. Most of these cases are life-threatening and require immediate intervention to save the patient.Sometimes, tracheostomy is required to establish the airway and to remove the fish. We are reporting a case of live climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) which was successfully removed from the oropharynx of a 30-year-old male without tracheostomy. We will mainly discuss the proper technique to remove live foreign bodies without causing any complications.
