it's your choice. i discourage eating fish. fish are very smart and beatuful animals. they can feel pain too. also, some studies have shown eating fish is healthy, but think of all the toxins in the ocean water they "breathe" in and gets into their systems then you eat that fish along with those toxins. do you really want to eat that?
anyways, it's totally your choice, but if i were you i would say no to fish eating

That depends on why you are a vegetarian. If there's just something about the taste of meat or something in meat, then you should understand that fish is allot different from beef and such. If you are a vegetarian because you don't want animals to die, then I don't know how you would justify that. However, I wouldn't make fish my main source of food either way. Some fish have trace amounts of mercury in them. Over time mercury builds up in the body and can cause seizures.

Vegetarians who eat fish are called pecsitarians. In my opinion, they aren't really vegetarians because they fish are still animals.
One of the main benefits of eating fish is omega. This is supposed to boost brain power and do alot of other stuff. You can actually get omega from seeds and stuff like hemp.
If you really have vegetarian views then you should be able to make do with out the fish.

If you eat no animal products at all, you are vegan. Vegetarians have different levels-some eat eggs and dairy, some eat fish, I've even heard people who eat poultry only call themselves vegetarians. It's up to you to decide what you are comfortable with. Fish has benefits, that can be obtained other ways. Overfishing is a real problem right now too. I wouldn't eat it only for the Omega 3's, but if you want to eat it go for it.

I thought once one eat fish or any sort of meat, the word vegetarian is no longer valid.
To eat what you enjoy, to me is fine. I will not judge you because it's your right, to eat what you enjoy.
