That's Mohammed and you're very brave to post his picture!
Around here it's flipper, spatula, or pancake turner
I've never heard anyone say fish slice before this thread
I slam with the back of my spatula!
Slotted spatula
Worst. Spoon. Ever.
In the UK? That's a weapon.

I'm surprised at the variety in the comments. I would call it a spatula. It's probably technically not one - a spatula probably doesn't have the holes??
If someone referred to it as a "fish slice" I'd think they were mad. How exactly does this slice fish? And why does it not slice other things? Weird.
Freezer defrosting tool.
Ah, yes, the BrandCo Drawer Jammer 9000.

Fish slice
That there's a spatchalur, or more commonly a "spatch" for short.
If you're around people who are all "proper", it's a spatula.
When we're feeling whimsical, we call it Fionn mac Cumhail, because in our minds fins and flippers are the same thing.

That is a flip turner.
Looks like a sort of fish slice to me.
Spatulas are either long thin metal things or short licky rubber things.

Scraper.

Flipper.
Spatula:
The only real answer
I was really hoping for a spatula city ad and was but disappointed... Now I have to go watch UHF... Brb...
Buy nine spatulas… get the tenth one for just one penny!
I like the spatula so much.
I bought the company.

Spatula or turner
I'm in the US, and most people I know call it a spatula but I have heard some people just call it a "flipper"
Turner seems widely used in product listings. I've always said spatula, but there's a bit of ambiguity between this type of spatula and a rubber spatula of the type used to scrape sides of mixing bowls and such.
I've never heard anyone call it a turner, but again that may have more to do with where I live. As a kid the item in OPs picture was the only thing we called a spatula. I didn't even see a rubber scraper style spatula until I was in high school I think lol
I honestly don't think I've heard turner IRL either. Just happened to notice it a lot when I was shopping for one on Amazon. Rubber spatula gets a lot of use if you bake, though.
In my home a spatula was always a tool with a flat rubber end, so this thing is a flipper. What do you call the rubber headed thing that you scrape bowls out with?
A rubber spatula or "the good one, I need to get all the sauce out of this pan".
Actually we speak French and English 50/50 because Montreal, and in French it actually has a name "Une Maryse", which is defined as: "a rubber spatula".

I'm my home, we have a variety of spatulas. Rubber spatula - both "no the big one" and "no the little one"; metal spatulas include: "my favorite"/"the sharp one", "the big shitty one", and "the curvy one"; and irregulars such as "the big offset", "that stupid orange one", and "the icing spatt".
Do you mean something like this?
I just call them rubber spatulas, despite the fact that the one I have is made of silicone lol
A scraper.
