Nope, if you eat animal flesh, you are not a vegetarian. That's not a terrible thing, but you should eat what you enjoy rather than eating to be classified as something particular. Rather than the term "pescatarian," which is oxymoronic as you either are a non-flesh eating vegetarian or a flesh-eater, even if it's only fish, I would suggest just calling yourself a healthy eater who enjoys fish. Best wishes to you for healthy eating.

Nope. Get off that fish.
Vegetarian: "a person who does not eat or does not believe in eating meat, fish, fowl, or, in some cases, any food derived from animals, as eggs or cheese, but subsists on vegetables, fruits, nuts, grain, etc."

You'd belong to a category of vegetarians called pescatarian.
However, whether or not you truly are vegetarian is debatable. The other vegetarians, who do not eat any meat, thus no fish, would not call you one. Personally I find that you are not vegetarian, as fish is an animal. If you don't claim to fight for animal rights or anything, and you do that for your health, it's ok as long as you specify you are not a true vegetarian...

You are not a vegetarian, fully. But eating fish of good quality is essentially differs from the meat eating habit and the fish in general is accepted for good heart and body proteins and so also the seafood! I don't eat them, being a total vegan, but the science and doctors say alike that fish and seafood is Okay for healthy living!

You're not a vegetarian - some might call you a Pescatarian, but what you are doing is eating a healthy diet that includes fish!

No you would be a pescetarian not a vegetarian. True vegetarians do not eat any animals not even fish or other sea foods.

nope, you would be a pescetarian. fish is a meat, even though people often lump it in its own category. vegetarians eat no meat at all, so if you cut out the fish you could be.

Yes, you are still a vegetarian because technically fish isn't exactly a certain type of meat.
