I want to become a vegetarian but still eat fish, what is that called

Question

If I don't eat any kind of meat or eggs but still eat fish (but not prawns, calamari, lobster etc just plain fish like tuna) what is that called?

Thanks =]

Answer 1

Who cares what it is called. Eat fish. Cutting meat, you should be proud of yourself. If you want to call your self a vegetarian, then do so. Who cares? Except for the "real" vegetarians. But I'll tell you what... In my books, the real vegetarians are the Vegans. Not these so-called vegetarians just because they dont eat fish. Be proud!

Answer 2

You would be what is known as a pescetarian. You eat fish, but not mammal/poultry meats! :)

Answer 3

Vegetarians do not eat fish.

Fish are animals.

Vegetarians do not eat animals.

"Pescetarians" or believers of fish, do eat fish, but they are not a type of vegetarian.

Answer 4

a wanna be!!! lol!!! eat a steak--you know you love it!!

Answer 5

pescetarians are a "hybrid" of vegetarians; they are not in the same category, and lots of vegetarians take offense to fish eaters referring to themselves as vegetarians, basically, no meat, only sea creatures

Answer 6

Hypocrite

Answer 7

That won't be classified as a vegetarian but a semi vegetarianism called Pesectarianism. It's the dieatary choice of a person that includes vegetarian products as well as fish meat.

I hope I helped!

Answer 8

I don't know what you call it but don't call yourself a vegetarian.  If fish aren't meat what are they?  I'm not saying there's anything wrong with eating fish - there isn't, but you aren't a vegetarian.

Answer 9

pescetarian.  

Answer 10

I'm wondering the same thing, Only meat i eat is fish too.

Answer 11

Pescetarian

Answer 12

There is no type of vegetarian that includes eating fish. Vegetarians don't eat animals. Just say you don't eat red meat and poultry. If you want a label it would be pescetarian. But that's not a vegetarian at all.

Answer 13

Impossible.  Vegetarians don't eat meat and fish is meat.  You would be a pescetarian (person who eats fish, but no other type of meat).  Pescetarians are not vegetarians.  They are separate.
