It's better to bury the dead fish in order to return its nutrients to the Earth rather than burden your city's sanitation system with easily biodegradable organic matter.

You can also throw it in the trash or put it in a tank with other fish that will eat it and watch it for a minute or two, If they don't eat it than take it out so it doesn't start to rot or decay. Generally you only do this with dead smaller fish so they can be eaten quickly. It doesn't work with larger fish. If the fish sinks to the bottom be sure to get it out.
