This means something close to where is the guy/girl that will love me and be my better half, my soulmate...saying there are other fish in the sea is like saying just beacuse one person does not work out, there are many more opportunities to find someone who will be there for you and be all the things you would look for in relationship!

So then, would you say that "where's my fish" is the equivalent of "mi media naranja" in Spanish? Though, in this case it´s normal Spanish, not slang.

Yeah, I've heard the expresion when someone breaks up "there are other fish in the sea", meaning you will meet someone else.
I don't know if we have a similar in Spanish....
