The octopus is an invertebrate, therefore it cannot be a fish, which belong to the group of animals known as vertebrates.

The octopus is a mollusc, and from the same group as squid and cuttlefish.

An octopus is as much a fish as a clam or shark is, in the sense that they live in the ocean. Octopi are in the class cephalopod. Cephalopods are easy to identify because they always have a set of tentacles.
