How would I say "go fishing" in spanish?

Question

Please help me make sense of this! If "pescado" is fish, than should I say "pez" for a plural, or would that be "los pescados"? How would I tell someone "I'm going fishing"?

Answer 1

Pescado: it is when the fish is out of water . Also, when you refer to one fish out of water it is Pescado otherwise it would be Pescados ( many fishes) out of water.

Pez: It is when the fish is in water.

Pez : One fish . (singular) Peces: many fishes (plural)

Pescar: To fish (Verb)

There is a rule in spanish to form the plural of words ending on Z. It changes Z by C and add es. Example: Maíz (singular) Maíces ( plural) , Pez (singular) Peces (plural)

Hope it helps

Answer 2

fish = el pez or el pescado

fishes = los peces or los pescados

to fish = pescar

But there is a subtle difference in Spanish between "pez" and "pescado"...

Pez: the animal in his natural or artifical habitat.

Pescado, it is when it is fished (it is not necessary to be on the dish for to be "pescado"

Answer 3

Pescar is 'to fish'

Yo voy a pescar.
