My dictionary says that fish as food is an uncountable noun.
Then,which sentence is correct?
"Whales eat many fish."
"Whales eat much fish."
Thank you in advance!

"Whales eat many fish." correct
"Whales eat much fish." grammatically correct but not often used. 'Whales eat a lot of fish.' would be much more common.
Thank you in advance!
