What kind of fish does a pelican eat?

The Pelican will eat seafood. A Pelican will hunt for its prey by flying/soaring above open salt water bodies & rivers. The Pelican will visually search for the proper size victim/fish and dive directly into the water and attempt to capture the potential meal with its large pouched bill. The Pelican will then return to the surface - naturally to breath - and of course, consume the food. I've enjoyed watching the Pelicans in both the Gulf and Bay in Sarasota, FL.
