what do you call a vegetarian who eats fish?

Question

my friend is a vegetarian, but he eats fish and egg O.o

Answer 1

Pesco-vegetarians

Answer 2

I would call them a semi-vegetarian. Defined as a person who limits most, but not all animal products. Typically a semi-vegetarian will consume poultry and fish, but not red meat. There are a few other types of vegetarians also, lacto-ovo vegetarians eat no animal flesh, but do consume milk products and eggs. Lacto vegetarians are the same, but skip the eggs. And vegans are defined as those who eliminate ALL animal products (which includes milk, honey, eggs, meat... ANYTHING that comes from an animal)

Hope it helps

Answer 3

Types of Vegetarians

One thing that many people don't realize or understand is that there are different types of vegetarians. Each individual vegetarian has his or her own personal reasons for choosing their diet, and these reasons determine exactly what foods they eliminate. Although a few different reasons and motivations are described in the Why? section, below is just a brief definition of each type of vegetarian.

Total Vegetarians
eat only plant food. They do not eat any animal foods, including fish, eggs, dairy products, and honey.

Vegans
not only omit all animal products from their diets, but they also eliminate them from the rest of their life. Vegans use nothing from animals, such as leather, wool, and silk
.
Lacto-Vegetarians
will include dairy products into their diet of plant food.

Lacto-Ovo-Vegetarians
eat both eggs and dairy products.

Pesco-Vegetarians
include fish into their diets.

Pollo-Vegetarians
eat poultry, such as chicken, turkey, and duck.

Answer 4

Your friend is not any type of vegetarian. Vegetarians do not eat animal flesh and fish is an animal.

Some folks might call him a pescetarian. Pesce means fish.

The terminology above is only half right. There is no such thing as a pesce-vegetarian. It just does not make sence and it's a made up word.

Answer 5

Some of us try to eat vegetarian, or mostly vegetarian, but find our options limited by the world around us. Like if the places you eat and the people you eat with aren't vegetarians, you might be healthier if you are more flexible or you'll end up with nothing but lettuce. Plus, some vegetarians aren't strict about it. I eat mostly vegetarian meals, but occasionally indulge in something else. The plan is healthy eating more than anything else. There's no name for it.
Clever answer vegefishatarian. I dunno.

Answer 6

He's a vegetarian. He doesn't eat meat. Egg is not a meat source, and seafood has never been classified as a meat either (although it also is a flesh of sorts). Both are simple high protein foods. Now, if he had tried to pass himself off as a vegan, well, then we'd have issues...

Good day!

Answer 7

I would call him a vegetarian who eats fish. Why make things more complicated than they have to be?

Answer 8

a vegetarian who eats fish is not a vegetarian. fish is meat. vegetarians do not eat meat. therefore, your friend is not a vegetarian.

Answer 9

he's not a vegetarian then he is now in the normal eating state for human beings which is an omnivore(eats meat or veg)

Answer 10

Pescatarian, that's what your friend is. This is a person who's only meat choice is fish. Fish is meat, it's flesh and bleeds and comes from the animal kingdom.
