Is there such thing as a vegetarian that only eats fish as meat?

If so, what is the name?
I consider myself a vegetarian, because I don't eat meat except for fish, and someone just told me that I'm not a vegetarian.
I just wanted to know if there was a name for someone like me.

that is a pesco-vegetarian. If you eat eggs too that is called a pesco-ovo vegetarian... there are plenty out there. As my dad puts it he only eat cold blooded animals :)

Here is a little more info about it:

i don't think there is a name for it but it is very common and there is no reason you cant call yourself a vegetarian

They are called pescetarians. And are incredibly common.

there's a plant that eats meat but not fish

Actually, I think most vegetarians dont consider fish as meat, which has always baffled me.

A friend of mine is a vegetarian and he has a bumper sticker on his car that says "I don't eat anything with eyes". We wonder if he eats potatoes, they get eyes,lol.

They're Japanese.

srry you arent a vegetarian

someone who eats fish, but not other meats, is considered to be a pescitarian (spelling may be wrong).

I am a 13 year old vegitarian and I eat fish. I will probably stop when I stop growing; my mom just says I need my protein.

no not really

You're a pescetarian.

Pescetarian: Similar to vegetarian, but also consumes fish. (often is a person avoiding factory-farming techniques...) See also pseudo vegetarian.


This is copied and pasted from some weird website for the International Vegetarian Union.

They aren't vegetarians, they are pescetarians (or pescatarians and piscivores, all the same thing). Pescetarians don't eat any animal that DOESN'T come from the water, which means they don't eat animals like cow, chicken, pig, etc., but they do eat animals like fish, octopus, oysters, etc.

This question gets asked a lot here in V&V and I am sorry to say that, no, you cannot be considered a vegetarian if you eat any meat at all. Eating fish is no different. If you want to be a vegetarian then why not just give up the fish?

yes, those who have the need for protien will eat fish at times. Its so they stay healthy

eats animals = not vegetarian.

pesscitarean

It's a type of vegetarianism, but it is not veganism. There is a name for it. I put an article link below that explains all the different types of vegetarianism.

yes, its called a pescatarian

(piscis is latin for fish)

"Actually, I think most vegetarians dont consider fish as meat, which has always baffled me."- mrr86

that is 150% wrong, I dread to think where you got that idea from.

no Vegetarian eats Fish

a PESCATARIAN , would , and is the title for the diet described in the question.

Yeah, there is. Your a carnivore.

If it has a face and a heartbeat, then it's meat. Red meat isn't the only meat.

Vegetarians eat only vegetables, fruits and nuts. Things that grow from the ground.

cheers.

Yes, most of the world's vegetarians are NOT "strict" vegetarians. They usually eat some fish or poultry or combination of both. In other cultures they are referred to simply as "vegetarians". For some reason here in the West we need to use terms like "pesco-vegtarians" or the more popular and upcoming group ... "flexitarian vegetarians".

You might want to Google "flexitarian diets" and "flexitarian".

Some vegetarians don't care to eat fish because they are not tortured like cows, chickens, and pigs are. People aren't vegetarian because they don't like meat they are that way because they don't want animals to suffer.

I don't think so.

no! vegetarians don't eat fish.
you're just an omnivore or a picky eater.

You are not a vegetarian if you eat any kind of animal flesh. That includes fish.

that would be a pescatarian.

Yeah! You can be a vegetarian and only eat fish as a meat. I've heard of people that do that. I'm not sure what the name is...

your a vegetarian.
deff. not a vegan.
but a vegt. there is not a name.

there is a name, but your not true vegatarian. if your not eating meat cause its cruel, dont the fish feel the pain too???

Now to go eat a nice steak dinner.
