Is Fish For Singles legit? Who runs it, what it costs, what it checks

The short version

Fish For Singles is a genuine dating site with a named company, published terms and clear rules on payment and cancelling. What it doesn't do is check everything members say about themselves, so it's legit as a service, and you still need the usual care with individual people.

Who runs it

Fish For Singles, the website and its members area, is run by High Intent Media Inc, a Delaware corporation (file no. 10670515), registered office 16192 Coastal Highway, Lewes, DE 19958, USA. The domain was re-registered in May 2020 and the site relaunched in 2021; it was rebuilt with new guides in October 2026. More on who we are.

You can check a Delaware company yourself: the Delaware Division of Corporations runs an online entity search where you can look up a company by name or file number. A registered office address in Delaware is common for US companies and is where official papers are served, not necessarily where staff work.

What it costs

Joining, building a profile and browsing are free. To read and reply to messages you need a paid membership.

US prices as shown in the members area on 16 October 2026; the members area shows the exact price before you pay. Memberships renew automatically until you cancel in Settings > Billing. Check the price and billing details at checkout before you pay.

Two things to know before you pay:

• Memberships renew automatically until you cancel in Settings > Billing. A trial moves on to a monthly membership.
• Refunds are limited. Under the members area terms, they're pro-rata and only when at least 40% of the membership period is unused.

Full details are on prices and billing, cancelling and refunds.

What you'll see on your statement

The charge appears under the billing name shown at checkout, not always as "Fish For Singles". That's because the members area is shared with partner sites, so the name may be a network name. Make a note of it when you pay so a later charge doesn't come as a surprise.

Who you'll meet

Fish For Singles shares one member database with partner dating sites in the same network. Members who joined through those sites can see your profile and message you, and each profile shows which site its owner joined through. So not everyone you meet will have joined because of fishing. How it works explains this in more detail.

What is and isn't checked

Photos are reviewed; almost everything else a member tells you is their own word. Here is the detail.

We'd rather be clear about this than overpromise. It means you should treat profiles as a starting point, use video calls before meeting, and never send money.

What about fake profiles and scammers?

No dating site can promise every member is genuine, and any that does is overselling. Romance fraud, where someone builds a fake relationship online to get money, happens across all kinds of dating sites and social media.

The warning signs are usually in the behaviour, not the profile:

• they want to leave the site for another app straight away;
• they declare strong feelings very quickly;
• they can never video call or meet;
• money comes up, often as an emergency, a fee or an investment.

If you spot this, report the profile to the members help centre. If you've lost money, call your bank, then report it to Report Fraud in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, Police Scotland on 101, or the Federal Trade Commission in the US. Our guide to spotting a romance scam explains the common scripts, and the safety page has every reporting line.

Reviews

We don't publish reviews or testimonials on this website, and we don't invent them. If you're looking for other people's experiences, independent review sites are the place to look, bearing in mind that a handful of reviews tells you very little either way.

How Fish For Singles measures up

Any dating site worth trusting should pass a few basic checks before you pay. Here is how Fish For Singles answers each one.

Who it suits, and who it doesn't

Fish For Singles suits people who fish or love the outdoors and want that to be part of dating from the first message. It also suits anyone happy to look at a wider pool through the partner network.

It's less suited to someone who wants every member identity-checked before they appear, or who only wants to meet people who joined specifically for fishing. If you'd rather keep the hobby separate from your love life, our guide to whether sharing a hobby matters is worth a read first.

What happens to your data

Your profile, messages and payment details are held in the members area, and the members area privacy policy explains what is collected, why, and how long it's kept. This information website is separate: it sets no cookies and runs no advertising or tracking scripts.

You can ask for a copy of your data or for it to be deleted through the members help centre. In the UK, if you're unhappy with how a request is handled, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. Our guide to deleting your account covers the steps.

If something goes wrong

Start with the members help centre for anything about your account, payments or another member. Include the email address you signed up with and, for payments, the date, amount and billing name.

If a payment problem isn't resolved, contact your bank or card provider. In the UK, Citizens Advice explains your consumer rights; in the US, the Federal Trade Commission takes reports about businesses and scams. If something on this website is wrong, tell us through the members help centre.
