? Squid is not a fish. Although we used to call it a fish, it also breathes with gills, but in fact it is not a fish. First of all, in terms of appearance, fish are characterized by scales and fins. Squid have smooth body surface and no fins. Secondly, in terms of internal structure, fish have vertebrae, while squid have bones, but the bones are relatively soft, which is different from fish. Therefore, squid is not a fish, but an animal belonging to the order Decapoda, subclass Dibranchia, class Cephalopoda, class Mollusca.
