Fish as food
Fish is consumed as a food by many species, including humans. It has been an important source of protein and other nutrients for humans throughout recorded history.
In culinary and fishery contexts, the term ''fish'' can also include shellfish, such as molluscs, crustaceans and echinoderms. English does not distinguish between ''fish'' as an animal and the food prepared from it, as it does with ''pig'' vs. ''pork'' or ''cow'' vs. ''beef''.〔''cf.'' culinary names〕 Some other languages do, as in the Spanish ''peces versus pescado''. The modern English word for fish comes from the Old English word ''fisc'' (plural: ''fiscas'') which was pronounced as it is today. English also has the term seafood, which covers fish found in the seas and oceans as well as other marine life used as food.
==Species==
Over 32,000 species of fish have been described,〔FishBase: (June 2012 update. ) Retrieved 18 June 2012.〕 making them the most diverse group of vertebrates. In addition, there are many species of shellfish. However, only a small number of species are commonly eaten by humans.
