This is the hilarious moment a hungry seagull swooped down and snatched a piece of fish straight out of a man's mouth.

In the clip, the camera focuses on the herring snack, which the man holds in a paper napkin.

Opening his mouth wide, the man holds the fish a few centimetres above his face and sticks out his tongue.

But seconds later, a cheeky seagull swoops in and snatches the snack straight out of the man's mouth before quickly flying off with the fishy treat securely lodged in its beak.

Staggering in bemusement, the man barely has time to process what has just happened as he looks around for the culprit.

Open-mouthed onlookers can be seen watching the hilarious moment in the background of the camera's shot.
