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 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.
