A man is sitting at a table in a restaurant. There is a fish on a plate in front of him, and he is staring at it.
Restaurants wouldn't serve a whole fish like that.
Does he plan on eating the thing raw?
Just water for me, thanks.

Instead of the fish being food, the fish is portrayed as the man's dinner guest. The fish only requests water; this is a minimal request sometimes people make at restaurants if they don't want anything. But for the fish, this is a dire request because fish need water to breathe.
