pescado

Fish for eating

Pescado is the Spanish word for fish, specifically fish that has been caught and prepared as food.

In English contexts, it appears mainly on menus and in discussions of Latin American or Spanish cuisine: The pescado tacos were excellent.

Spanish distinguishes pescado (fish to eat) from pez (a living fish in water).
