Meat is a general term for all animals flesh, while fish is part of the seafood family.

Both high in protein and iron, fish still includes more protein, while meat includes a higher quantity of fat.

Meat can be eaten raw but is generally processed, cooked and seasoned before eating, while fish can be eaten raw as well but must be perfectly cleaned before consuming.

Fish is easy and quick to cook, while meat takes a long time to cook.
