It's like the difference between pig and pork.
Pez = fish (alive and well)
Pescado = fish (for eating)

Cerdo y jamón? - annierats, Aug 3, 2013
jaja I mean the difference between pig and pork in English, in Spanish they're both cerdo, not sure whey there is a differentiation between pez and pescado. - Kiwi-Girl, Aug 3, 2013
Food for thought. Chancho y cerdo. Vaca y res. "Carne de cerdo o res" is the norm. I have never heard "Carne de chancho o vaca". - 00551866, Aug 3, 2013

Here's what helped me remember the difference between the two:
When a fish is in the ocean it's called a Pez. When it's on your plate it's pescado.

As long as the fish is swimming in the water it is " pez" at least thats how we use the word in Mexico. Once the fish is caught it becomes "pescado'
