Eating fish and calling yourself a vegetarian
is just like calling yourself a millionaire when your net worth is $5.
If you eat sea animals you're not vegetarian. If the seafood is sea plants, then you'd still be vegetarian. (Note a sea cucumber is an animal.)

Eat all the shrimp and sea food you like, but calling yourself a vegetarian would be lying.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vegetarianism is the practice of not consuming the flesh of "any" animal, with or without also eschewing other animal derivatives, such as dairy products or eggs. Some vegetarians choose to also refrain from wearing clothing which has involved the death of animals, such as leather, silk and fur. Veganism, sometimes called "strict vegetarianism", excludes all animal products from diet and attire, whether or not their production has involved the actual death of an animal (dairy, eggs, honey, wool, silk and down feathers). Vegetarians have varied motivations including religious, cultural, financial, ethical, political, environmental, economic, and health concerns.
Fish and other sea creatures are not plants that for sure, the only sea food a vegetarian would eat is sea vegetables.

GAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! I have had it with people asking if they can eat this or that and call themselves something. Let me give you a tip. Don't bother yourself with labels. If you think it feels right to eat shrimp or seafood, eat it. If you are wondering if they are animals, the answer is yes, seafood is animal. You are eating the muscle of an animal just as with any other type of meat. If, now that you are sure that it is meat it doesn't seem right to eat it, then don't, but don't worry about getting yourself to fit into some diet.
If you do eat any meat, including seafood, and someone asks you if you are a vegetarian don't say, "Yes, but I do eat seafood." That gets a lot of people upset. Say no, I eat some seafood.

Why are all vegetarians so clueless? You either eat meat or you don't. Sure there are all kinds of categories that CONVENIENTLY excuse supposed-vegetarians and allow them to eat fish or chicken, but those things are still animal proteins people. Do some research and figure it out.

That depends..............vegetarians seem to define what makes a vegetarian based on their own wants and needs. Some say you can eat fish and seafood and others say you can't.
