One difference is that fish are bony. Sharks have a skeleton made of cartilage (like in your nose or kneecap). Sharks have five to seven gill slits, while fish only have one. Fish have swim bladders for bouyancy, sharks do not.

Main difference is that fish skeletons have bones in them, while sharks just have cartilage skeletons. They both have backbones, but this difference puts sharks into a different category.
