Very interesting... thanks!
My helpers (from Oaxaca mostly) have schooled me on the living/ cooked explanation. Maybe they didn't know?

David K. had it right at the beginning: pez is the living fish and pecado is the caught and served fish. This is standard in Mexico and all the
Central and South American countries I've visited. Of course, there are sometimes regionalisms. And it's important that the native speaker be
reasonably well educated.
If asking a waiter in a restaurant, the question always is "¿Cual clase de pecado hay?" Frequently the answer is simply, "Pescado blanco." But it
can be "pez espada" because this is the name of the living fish. Or it can be huachinango, cabrilla, or lenguado because these are the names of the
living fish.

An small correction:
'pescador' (catches fish) fisher man
"Pescadero" a person who sell fish
"Pescaderia" Seafood market.

So in the case of a fisherman, selling fish from his boat, would that be a pescadoreroia?
Just kidding! I was reading a Mexican news article that had been auto translated to English, and it came up with "Fish Monger" for the community of
Pescadero. La Paz was just called "Peace".
I would like to extend a second welcome to the forum!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

"Fish Monger" just doesn't have the same musical quality as "Pescadero", which is also why I like saying "zanahoria" much more than I do eating
carrots.

Both are the same, you can use it in any context but when is for food you used to say pescado, imagine you're in a restaurant asking for this https://recetasde.xyz/filete-de-pescado-a-la-mantequilla/ You would say Please give me a "Filete de pescado a la mantequilla" not "Filete de pez
a la mantequilla"
