Jesus lived when the temple was active. (It was finally destroyed in
70 AD.) There were always a hereditary high priest in charge and other
priests under him.
Because of his ancestry (descended from Judah, David, Solomon ...
Zadok), he should have been a high priest himself, but Herod the Great
disrupted the dynasty and put somebody of his own choosing in charge.
In those days, "rabbi" simply meant "scholar." The rise of the
rabbinate occurred centuries later and far away.
I consider it likely that Jesus shared in consuming the temple
sacrifices. And if he didn't eat fish, you'd think the Bible ought to
have mentioned it.
