Good question.
In Spanish, 'pez' means fish. The verb 'pescar' means to fish and 'pescado' literally means fished. However, 'pescado' is the word used when you're talking about something dead or cooked ready to eat, like 'Do you prefer meat or fish?' = 'Prefieres carne o pescado?' Pez (plural 'peces') is reserved for the little chappies while they are still swimming.

It means fish, but fish that you eat, not a fish swimming in the ocean or your pet goldfish which would be pez.
