do vegetarians eat fish?

no, not true ones....

Vegetarian: does not consume the flesh of any animal (including sea animals)

Semi-Vegetarian: Eats less meat than average person. See also PSEUDO-VEGETARIAN.

Pseudo-Vegetarian: Claims to be vegetarian, but isn't. Often used by VEGETARIANS to describe SEMI-VEGETARIANs, and PESCETARIANs.

Pescetarian: Similar to VEGETARIAN, but also consumes fish. (often is a person avoiding factory-farming techniques...) See also PSEUDO-VEGETARIAN.

Fruitarian: Same as VEGAN, but only eats foods that don't kill the plant (apples can be picked without killing plant, carrots cannot).

Vegetable Consumer: Means anyone who consumes vegetables. Not necessarily a VEGETARIAN.

Herbivore: Mainly eats grass or plants. Not necessarily a VEGETARIAN.

Plant-Eater: Mainly eats plants. Not necessarily a VEGETARIAN.

Nonmeat-Eater: Does not eat meat. Most definitions do not consider fish, fowl or seafood to be meat. Animal fats and oils, bonemeal and skin are not considered meat.

Kosher: Made according to a complex set of Jewish dietary laws. Does not imply VEGAN in any case. Does not imply OVO-LACTO VEGETARIAN in any case. Even KOSHER products containing milk products may contain some types of animals which are not considered 'meat'.

Pareve/Parve: One category in KOSHER dietary laws. Made without meat or milk products or their derivatives. Eggs and true fish are pareve, shellfish are not.

Nondairy: Does not have enough percentage of milkfat to be called dairy. May actually contain milk or milk derivatives.

Nonmeat: Made without meat. May include eggs, milk, cheese. Sometimes even included animal fats, seafood, fish, fowl.

I am a vegetarian and I eat fish I believe fish can be an exception because they lay so many eggs and more than 50% of the earth is water. So if you choose to eat fish that would not be such bad thing. :)

Do vegetarians eat fish?

They can, but they wouldn't be vegetarian in the first place.

I mean, honestly, what do you think? is fish not an animal? does it not have flesh?? if it has flesh then it's obviously an animal. and vegetarians do not eat any kind of animal.

ALSO, there is no such thing as a vegetarian who eats fish, no such thing as a "semi-vegetarian". what does that even mean? it means you're a meat-eater and that does not make you a vegetarian in anyway possible.

AND! there's no such thing as "pescetarians" or "pesco-Vegetarians" these are made up terms! they're just omnivores and nothing more.

take a look at this:

No vegetarians don't eat fish... they can eat whatever they want... but they choose not to consume animals(like fish) anyone that tells you that vegetarians eat fish is either:

A. very misinformed

B. Living a lie

Hope that helps :]

Fish is an animal honey. Vegetarians don't eat animals..hence the term "vegetarian" Anyone who eats fish is NOT a vegetarian..no matter what they call themselves.

I can call myself the pope but it does not make it true.

It does NOT depend on what type of vegetarian you are. No type of vegetarian eats fish.

I also wanted to add that there is no such this as a semi vegetarian. Either you are or you arent. Can you be semi catholic or semi female? Nope.

No a proper vegetarian doesn't unless it is going in the bin so it is not wasted!

NO YOU SHOULD BE A VEGETARIAN!

You live on average 6.5 years longer,

It is cheaper!

THE MORE PEOPLE VEGETARIAN THE LESS ANIMALS ARE SLAUGHTERED!

And that crap about cows farting??? WE CREATE MORE **** THAN ANY ANIMAL WITH THE FUMES WE CREATE FROM BATTERY FARMS!

no! a fish is an animal, it is meat. i dont get how people over see that. if you'd like to eat fish (some people just love it) go ahead. but as long as you are consuming fish, your an omnivore.

vegetarians are mostly known for not eating any poultry, meat or fish but semi-veggies may eat fish. it depends. There are also some religions that only eat fish and not any other meat.vegans on the other hand do not eat any meat, nor dairy products(anything that comes from an animal) so they may eat vegetables, fruits or beans!

Yes. Most vegetarians eat fish and seafood.
