I know fish has eyes, blood, intestines, brain, heart and all. But I am a moron and an uneducated idiot who cannot think for myself. I blindly believe everything my friends say. My friends said fish is not meat. Do you know what species of tree fish comes from, and what kind of soil and fertilizer the fish tree needs?

Nicely phrased (and thanks for the laugh).
I love it when people call themselves vegetarian but eat fish -- they really do believe they're vegetarians, too! I also like it when my mother says "I don't eat meat" as she's sitting there eating chicken. Of course, she means she doesn't eat *red* meat. But why stick with established the definition of something when you can make up your own, I guess....

Stereotyped labels besides. Pesco-Vegetarians may be those eating fish. A vegetarian who eats diary products is a lacto-vegetarian. A vegetarian who eats eggs is an ovo-vegetarian. So, a vegetarian who eats those form of is an Ovo-Lacto-Pesco-Vegetarian. A vegetarian who would not consume any animal products is a vegan. As to why, properly one might desire to keep in mind that being a vegetarian isn't rather a lot not eating meat, yet eating the 'end result and roots' interior the main suitable stability, in any different case can fall ill. So, in line with risk the guy isn't doing that, for that reason supplementing the nutrition with fish (and different seafood). Fish is the main healthful meat.

I am a lacto-ovo-vegetarian meaning I don't eat meat but I do eat eggs and milk. Vegans are fully vegetarian, so no eggs and fish. Some people call themselves vegetarians but do eat fish, IMHO that's contrary to the definition of the word vegetarian.
My friends and coworkers always had a hard time remembering what I ate and what i didn't. If I ate fish or shrimp or not. So I made up a very simple definition and they stopped asking. I told them:
"I it defecates I don't eat it"
Actually I didn't use the word defecate but you get the point.

No vegetarians don't eat fish, and contrary to the first poster's answer vegans don't eat fish either. Vegans totally avoid anything to do with animals - so no animal products or clothing or toiletries derived from animals. Vegetarians avoid meat and fish but sometimes chose to eat milk and/or eggs as they are not animal flesh.

Technically no & really no if your a vegan. I find getting enough protein as vegetarian is difficult & I get sick without some meat. I eat steamed fish anyhow & no longer call myself a vegitarian.

Never. One who eats fish is not a vegetarian.

LOL. Good joke. But I'm sure the fish-eating "vegetarians" STILL don't understand.

A person who is essentially a vegetarian but who eats fish (and no meat) is a Pescetarian or Pesco-Vegetarian - I am one.
Personally I hate people who say they are vege and eat chicken - ugh.

Technically, a true vegetarian doesn't eat fish because it's an animal.
I do know people that call themselves vegetarian, but will make exceptions for fish on occasion.
