Asking this is like asking "What do animals eat on land?". It's far too generic a question. There is no one correct answer. Some fish are carnivores (meat eaters), some are herbivores (plant eaters), and some are even omnivores (eaters of both plant and animals), some are predators, some are scavengers, some are parasitic. I would venture to say that for the most part, wild fish eat just about any form of organic material, living or dead, animal or vegetable. They eat seaweed, crustateans, other fish, mammals, birds, mollusks, all forms of plankton, waste material (from ships, etc...), just to name a few things.
