Fred Rechid is a cameo character seen in many episodes. His catchphrase is "My Leg!" which later becomes a phenomenon on the Internet and his friend's name is Tom. He usually wears brown pants with a black belt with a gold buckle and is a green skinned fish. In the episode Jellyfish Hunter, Fred sings a song about the delicious "jelly patty" called "Hey All You People".

Fred is seen in quite a few episodes as a backup character or a person in the crowd who talks or is in an angry mob (seen in a few episodes). His name was revealed in the episode Patty Hype. He is voiced by Doug Lawrence. Fred first appeared as Youngki's father, in the episode Reef Blower. He is usually the most closest to Nancy in cameo-places where there's a lot of important fish. A running gag is that he gets injured many times and yells "My Leg!"

In the episode Plankton!, he was blue colored. Fred also has many look-alikes in the episodes The Paper, The Chaperone, and others. At the Kelp Shake restaurant, he was annoyed by Mr. Krab's fake sneezing and saliva spitting. It is revealed that in the episode Band Geeks, he probably died or was seriously injured and Nancy was affected by this. He is also very eyeshot by King Neptune's very hot baldness in the Krusty Krab 2 in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.

In the episode Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy VI: The Motion Picture, it is revealed that he is a fan of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.

In the episode Doing Time, Fred worked as a janitor at Shady Shoals. He doesn't seem to to notice the fruit punch that floods through the hallway she was cleaning in.

Fred may be a wealthy fish because he is one of Squilliam Fancyson's friends, and he auctioned Mr. Krabs for $1,000,000 for the Soda-Drinking Hat. Fred also appeared in the episode Party Pooper Pants at SpongeBob's party.

Fred has also been to Bass Vegas, as seen in the episode Have You Seen This Snail?.
