The meaning of the word "REFISH"
Hi, I would like to ask if it is OK to have a brand name ReFishfor the fish product? 
OR may be it sounds ugly... Please, native English speakers give me advice whether it isgood world or not? I am confused, because the prefix Re- means something remade reproduced?

No, "ReFish" wouldn't work. It sounds like a product to enhance your flagging piscatorial drive.

You are correct that the prefix "re" generally means "again", e.g. redo (to do again), retype (to type again), review (to look again), etc.
With food, anything "re" - reconstituted, refried, etc. - doesn't sound particularly healthy to our ears.
If your fish processed product, I might suggest ReFrish for brand name. This suggests the product is not 100% natural, yet

This is me again...
ReFrish is an example of portmanteau (the combination of two dissimilar words that create a new word). Frish = fish + fresh.
