Fish meal, or fishmeal, is a commercial product consisting of the waste from fisheries after the human-consumable material is removed, or from whole fish which are not suitable for human consumption. Fish meal is a brown powder or cake obtained by pressing the whole fish or fish trimmings to remove the fish oil.

The major use of fish meal is as a high-protein supplement in the feed for livestock. The main producing countries in 2004 were Peru, Chile, China, Thailand, USA, Japan and Denmark. World-wide production is about 6.3 million tons annually.
