An ultrasonic fluid meter for determining the flow rate and/or volume of a flowing medium includes a housing, an inlet, an outlet, a first ultrasound measurement path including at least one ultrasound transducer, and a second ultrasound measurement path including at least one ultrasound transducer. The ultrasound measurement paths extend at an angle to one another inside the housing and intersect. The first ultrasound measurement path and the second ultrasound measurement path extend at an angle to one another and intersect in a common region, as seen in a projection plane of a flow cross section. A method for determining the flow rate and/or volume of a flowing medium is also provided.
