Answer 2

Biologically speaking, fish is meat. However, fish has not always been considered ‘meat.’ The word meat is often used to refer specifically to the flesh-meat of mammals and birds. For example, many cookbooks put meat and fish in different categories without specifying ‘flesh meat.’ Even in many modern languages, such as Spanish, the word for meat (carne) does not include fish.

As far as the food pyramid goes; Meat is meat if you cut it and it bleeds.
