The English phrase "with fish" is translated into Spanish as con pescado.
Con pescado is a neutral expression to indicate 'with fish.'
Did you know?
- The word pescado specifically refers to fish that has been caught or processed, whereas pez refers to fish that is still swimming in the water.
- While con pescado is used for meals, the term pescado is a participle meaning 'fished'. This reflects the action of the catch rather than the animal itself.
- In some coastal regions of Spain and Latin America, ordering something con pescado might be ambiguous because people distinguish between pescado (fish) and mariscos (shellfish).
