What's it called when the only animals you eat is fish?

Question

So I'm a vegetarian. I don't eat any meat at all and that includes fish. I was just curious, what is it called when you only eat fish. When people say they are veggies but then they eat fish do you think it's wrong? I feel that if someone thinks it's wrong to eat meat why is it ok to eat fish. I want to hear everyone's thoughts on it.

Answer 1

Vegetarians do not eat any animals..period.   Somebody coined the term "pescetarian" but that is not in anyway related to a vegetarian diet.

Answer 2

They call themselves pescetarians, while most call them "veggers with no b*lls".

I have no idea why they think this. Head injury, maybe?

Answer 3

Pescatarian. I agree. You can eat fish, but you can't eat meat?? It seems to me when people say that they just want the title of a Vegetarian. People should only be vegetarians for the right reasons.

Answer 4

Pescitarian. I hear it's pretty healthy, although I don't do it (I'm vegan. ^^;)

Answer 5

Listen, Im vegetarian also... A year ago I tried vegan food, but that r extremes :) anyway,,, I also eat fish... and it is a meat, but healthy one.  Dont worry, lots of veggeterans, eats fish. Have a nice day.

Answer 6

pescetarian. I don't think that pescetarians are vegetarians because fish are still animals.

Answer 7

If someone eats fish, that person is not vegetarian in any way.

Answer 8

semi-vegetarian: eats meat, but only fish and chicken

pesci-vegetarian: eats only fish

lacto-ovo vegetarian: eats no meat, but will eat dairy products (milk, butter, cheese) and eggs

ovo-vegetarian: eats eggs, but no meat or dairy products

vegan (say: vee-gun): eats no meat or animal products

Answer 9

I would call them either an omnivore or a pescatarian.  Although I'm not sure, I have some reservations about the term pescatarian because it implies that they are still some kind of vegetarian, which I don't believe they are.

I have a good friend who claims she is vegetarian but she eats fish.  She always talks about her vegetarianism to people too, often while peeling shrimp with her teeth.  It's disturbing, but I don't really want to tell her any different because I don't like confrontation.  Anyway, I think everyone around her knows she is not a vegetarian.  They are all smart people and know that fish is meat, so I'm not sure why she doesn't know.  I think she is pretty foolish for not seeing that fish is a sentient being.

Answer 10

you get healthy

korkie

Answer 11

well some people who eat fish but dont eat other meats are still called vegetarains i dont get it tho i think u either eat animals are u dont and fish are a form of animals

Answer 12

Pescetarian.....technically no, you're not a vegetarian (it is a healthy diet though)

Answer 13

A person who eats fish, but refrains from eating other animal products is a Pesco-Vegetarian (also Pesci-Vegetarian).  And, it is just as bad to eat fish as it is to eat any other animal.  People who eat fish, but not any other types of meat typically do it because they know that most meat has high cholesterol, and that fish thins blood and is thus healthful, they don't usually do it for ethical reasons.
