Fish

Fish are aquatic vertebrate animals, with internal skeletons of bone or cartilege, that live in seawater and freshwater worldwide, and have been important sources of food for humans since prehistory. Fish-catching and eating practices are widespread and variable, and nearly every coastal region in the world has a distinctive set of foodways associated with their local seafood catch, preparation, and consumption.

In culinary usage, fish are generally classified as one half of seafood, with shellfish as the other half.
