Answer yes,fish do have bonesyes, bony fish (i.e., Teleosts) have bones, but some do not: e.g., invertebrates like cuttlefish, jellyfish or mulloscs, and cartilaginous fish (i.e., Elasmobranchs) like sharks, skates or rays. Answer: fish do have bones.No. They have flexible cartilage like we have in our noses. We call them bones anyway even though there not. The bone meal you buy for the garden is ground up fish cartilage. If it were bone, it would be useless for a soil conditioner. It is a good source of calcium though.

For a comparison of bone across species, one may refer to the following:

Elasmobranch is a class of fishes with bones made of cartilage. It includes sharks, skates and rays. Cartilage is the material that is in your nose and ears. Their only real bones are teeth and jaws. They are a very old, successful class of fishes. There were sharks before there were dinosaurs. Because they lack bones, there are very few fossils of older sharks. Sharks are endangered now because their cartilaginous fins are prized for soup in some cultures.
