"Otha Fish" is a song by American hip hop group The Pharcyde, released in September 1993 on Delicious Vinyl. It is the fourth and final single from their debut album Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde, and the only solo track on the album, with Slimkid3 being the only rapper on the song. It is also the only song on the album not to be produced by J-Swift, who stopped producing songs for the group due to problems with production and credits. Instead, it was produced by L.A. Jay and Slimkid3, and samples the Herbie Mann song "Today!". The song is one of many Pharcyde songs that are about one-sided love; loving someone but not being loved back, a concept similar to "Passin' Me By" and "She Said".
