A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.

Several popular songs in recent years were about cold－hearted men or cold－hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers.
