Pez is the critter in the water, the animal.
Pescado is the fish dish on your plate that you are going to eat.
If you ordered pez at a restaurant you might get a goldfish on your plate

Like they said "pez" is the still alive version. Literally "pescado" is "fished" as in "fished out of the water" with the intent of being cooked and eaten. =)

What Jeremias said. It's the same difference as between cow and beef.
