Is fish classified as meat?

Answer 1

any animal is considered meat, tho there are some vegetarians who still eat fish; they are called pescatarians. Pescatarian is derived from the Greek word Pesca, meaning fish. A sentient living organism typically capable of voluntary motion and sensation is considered animal and therefore meat.

Answer 2

No, 'meat' refers to pork and red meat like beef and lamb, 'poultry' refers to birds: chicken, turkey, duck, etc. 'Fish' is classified as something aquatic living in the seas, oceans, or fresh water.

If you are asking if fish is high in protein and grouped with meat sometimes, when discussing nutritional properties, then the answer is "it can be." Fish may be included in the diet as a "meat substitute" that carries close to equivalent protein content, nutrition, etc. all without the bad, saturated fats. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Some people do not consider fish to be meat like other animal flesh. Some examples include fish eaters who consider themselves vegetarians because they don't eat other kinds of animal flesh (though this is highly controversial among vegetarians), Catholics who ate fish on Fridays pre-Vatican II when they were expected to fast from other forms of flesh, and Muslims who keep halaal and Jews who keep kosher, neither of which treats fish the same as other forms of animal flesh

Answer 4

Yes, but it is the meat of a cold blooded animal rather than a warm blooded one. For some reason there is a reasoning that says that cold blooded animals don't feel but warm blooded animals do. I think that that is the reason why vegetarians will eat fish but not warm blooded meat.
But if that is your reason for asking the question, then I would have to ask you does an apple feel? How do we know?
