Question

Could you please tell me whether the two following sentences are the same?
What do you do with the fish you get?-------1
How do you deal with the fish you get?--------2

Could you please tell me if 1 and 2 are the same?

What's the difference between 1 and 2?

Answer

They mean essentially the same thing.  The second implies that having the fish is a problem that must be resolved.

Answer

Interesting question.  I think 1 would suggest a whole range of possibilities whereas 2 would suggest that there are some difficulties that must be managed.   It is subtle. Does this help?
