Still vegetarian? If you eat fish you have never been vegetarian! If you want to be vegetarian then give up eating fish.
Depends on why you want to be vegetarian... if it is for the sake of the animals then give up fish. If you just like fish then keep on eating it and just don't call yourself a vegetarian.

I believe that being a vegetarian is defined as not eating the flesh of any other animal. So technically, I don't think you should eat fish if you consider yourself to be a true vegetarian.
But if you like it, don't feel guilty...just keep on eating it.

If you eat meat, you are a pescetarian. If you truly want to be a vegetarian, you will have to give up fish. If part of the reason you became vegetarian was to eliminate animal suffering, you will probably want to give it up. If you became a vegetarian to be healthier, it is okay to eat fish once or twice a week because it contains healthy Omega - 3. But, they say not to eat too much fish because of mercury poisoning. Eat whatever you want. Don't fall prey to labels. Just be yourself. :)

Vegetarian means you do not eat animals. Fish are types of animals too so you cannot eat them, if you do you are a pescatarian.
If you like fish by all means eat and enjoy it but you are not vegetarian.

You're not vegetarian cause you eat a sea creature that is made of a meat flesh! Vegetarians don't eat any meat at all!

Being a vegetarian is a choice, not a religion. If you choose to eat fish, then go ahead and enjoy. It's your decision and the beliefs of others has no relevance.

Well, I guess technically you aren't quite vegetarian but it doesn't matter, I think you should be congratulated for not eating other meat and helping those animals!
:D
