Questions & Answers about El pescado fresco está muy bueno con limón.

Why is "fish" translated as pescado here instead of pez?
In Spanish, pez is used for a live fish swimming in the water. Once a fish is caught and prepared as food, it becomes pescado.
Why does fresco come after pescado?
In Spanish, describing words (adjectives) like fresco usually come after the thing they describe. So, instead of "fresh fish," you say "fish fresh" (pescado fresco).
Why use está instead of es? Isn't the fish always good with lemon?
When talking about food, using estar (like está) with bueno means that it tastes delicious. If you used the verb ser (es bueno), it would mean the fish is healthy or good for you, rather than focusing on the yummy flavor.
Could I say mucho bueno instead of muy bueno?
No, you must use muy (very) before describing words like bueno. Mucho means "a lot" or "much" and is used with things or actions, not to say how good something is.
