What does John 21:10 mean?

After Jesus' resurrection (Matthew 28:9–10), He told the disciples to meet Him in Galilee. At some point, seven of them went fishing, but caught nothing over an entire night of work (John 21:1–4). At dawn, Jesus appeared and told them to cast again, resulting in a huge netful of fish (John 21:5–6). In typical fashion, Peter responded by jumping overboard and swimming to shore (John 21:7–9). When the others arrived, they found a small fire, with a few fish already cooking, and bread, along with Peter and Jesus.

Though there's food already being cooked, there's no reason to waste the catch. Jesus' instruction here is practical. The shared meal will be the backdrop of a conversation that restores Peter (John 21:17) after his embarrassing fall (John 18:25–27).
