Fish has meat. But it does not have a complex enough nervous system as cows, chickens or pigs. Some say that fish doesn't even feel any pain.

Yes, Muslims can eat fish but not sharks as they are carnivorous (read below for a more detailed explanation). Most seafood are halal but there are also exemptions for Sunnis and Shias. For example Shias don't eat oysters, I was told by a friend. Amphibians (e.g. frogs) are haram.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
As to the species of sea creature that is permitted, all have agreed that fish, with scales, are Halal. Some have opined that anything, which can only live in water, is Halal while creatures that can live in and out of the water are haram. The latter would include crabs, turtles, frogs, etc. Another opinion is that only fish with scales are Halal and other creatures are not. This group believes that lobster, shrimp, octopus, eels, etc. are not permitted. Another group believes that creatures resembling Halal land animals are Halal while those resembling haram land animals are haram.

Fish can be eaten because it is not categorised as meat.
