UBS Dictionary of the Greek New Testament
noun, n. | -ου | φάγος
1 One may argue that the meaning of προσφάγιον in JHN 21:5 is relish, and that it is only the specialized context which makes possible the reference to fish. On the other hand, one may also argue that, as in the case of ὀψάριον (5.16), the term προσφάγιον has undergone a specialization of meaning, so that it no longer refers to any type of relish eaten with bread, but has the more specific meaning of fish as food.
