Fish (noun) food – el pescado

(Pronounced pehs-kah-doh)

To remember that fish is pronounced pehs-kah-doh (pescado) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

That fish was a pesky carp but I don't (pescado) care because I'm now going to eat it.

Pescado is masculine, so it's el pascado. Imagine an elephant asking for a fish in a fish and chip shop.
