Edinble fish


Explanation:
I cannot disagree with Michelle's argument, but 'food fish' sounds rather Norwenglish, so you may prefer 'edible fish' on aesthetic grounds
The corresponding UK regulations (see ref) use neither term, which doesn't help!

Mistype, sorry, I meant EDIBLE fish.

Example sentence(s):
  • Apply here for an edible fish production licence.

  -> All fish intended to be eaten are edible fish, but not all edible fish are eaten. Not that the fish cares, he intends to keep swimming!
