Is fish concidered meat?

Question

Is fish concidered meat?

Answer 1

Are fish animals? Yes.

Do they have to die in order to eat them? Yes.

Are they meat? YES!!

You are not a vegetarian if you eat fish.

Answer 2

Yes for vegetarians. It's a life-form which has been killed for your consumption.

Answer 3

It is the flesh of an animal, but humans like to put things into categories, such as land animals, sea animals, flying animals etc.  Fish meat, bird meat, animal meat... it's all meat; all flesh of a creature.

Answer 4

Yes, it is part of the Animalia Kingdom of life. Therefore, scientifically, it is meat.

Answer 5

Any animal flesh is meat.  Vegetarians do not eat animal flesh.

Answer 6

I consider it meat yet other people don't. New vegetarians often eat it until they find new sources of protein.

Answer 7

♦ Eggs and seafood are rarely referred to as meat even though they consist of animal tissue...~

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

yes it can feel its self diying but new vegiterians sometimes eat it a little just so there body can get used to no meat

Answer 10

Yes, yes, and yes again!  Fish is a living, breathing thing with a brain and a central nervous system.  They have bones and blood and catch their food.  So yes.  They are animals.  When you kill an animal and eat it, you are eating meat.

Answer 11

That depends if you ask a vegan or a Catholic!

A vegan would say yes...a Catholic would say no (Fridays...no meat ....but fish okay).  I am joking by the way.

Answer 12

Yes.  Scientists classify fish as animals.  Animal flesh = meat.  Any vegetarian who eats fish and claims to be a vegetarian is a phoney wannebe.  They call this "Pescetarianism".  I think its BS.

Answer 13

Yes...being a vegetarian, I won't eat fish, I consider it meat

however pescetarians (sp?) eat fish but no other meat...I think.

Answer 14

If it is not a meat, which is flesh of an animal, then what is a fish then? I do believe it is a member of the Animal Kingdom, and not the Plant Kingdom. I never remember a goldfish in my botany class.

Answer 15

to me, yes. i do not see how some vegetarians eat fish. when you kill a deer or a cow, you slaughter it. not pretty, but it's over pretty fast. a fish, you deceive into thinking it has found a meal, stab a hook through it's throat, and then suffocate. imagine the pain!

Answer 16

Yes, fish is considered meat. So is seafood (shrimp, lobster, etc.) You are not a vegetarian if you consume any of these things.

Answer 17

Yes.

Answer 18

it depends if you're a pescetarian, vegetarian, or vegan.

it is considered meat, but i think some vegetarians eat it because they don't think fish have it as bad.

Answer 19

YES!!!

Fish are Friends not food

Answer 20

No...Fish is not considered meat...meat is pork,beef,lamb,moose,beaver,porcupine,an... bear.Chicken and turkey is not considered meat cause it is poultry...Fish is sea food....it is not meat...vegetarians eat fish and poultry....Vegans don't eat meat,poultry,or sea food...So to answer your question correctly...No fish is not meat at all.

Answer 21

Depends. But...

A pesceterian doesn't eat meat, but they eat fish.

A vegetarian doesn't eat, or anything with a face.

If you are a vegetarian that eats fish, you are a pescetarian instead. Sorry.

Answer 22

Well I'm a vetegetian and I think fish is a meat because everything that moves is meat and animal crutiety Sorry my spelling is bad. Hope this helps

Answer 23

If you are a vegetarian, yes.

Some people confuse matters and call themselves "vegetarians" although they eat fish. Real vegetarians don't eat any kind of animal and don't consider these people to be vegetarian.

The Catholic Church says fish isn't meat. Some schools of cooking say fish isn't meat. But neither of these definitions has anything to do with vegetarianism.

Answer 24

Deffintly meat, my mum would be vegetarian if she gave up the occasional fish but she understands it's meat, some people don't. But yes it's certainly a meat.

Answer 25

No, just like the difference between vegeterian and pesceterian. One eats no meat or fish, the other eats fish but not meat.
