Yeah, that's my thought also.
I heard that there is a special name for people who don't eat meat but do eat fish...
I'll have to look into it.

I found this:

How do you describe a person who does not eat meat, but eats fish?

The word demi-vegetarian appears in our file with the sense 'a person who eats fish but not meat', but this is not obvious as the meaning of the term, and some self-styled 'demi-vegetarians' may eat poultry and avoid only red meat.

hi all,

i am sort of vegetarian for about 5-6 yrs. due to convenience i had no choice but to take only veggies that are cooked with meat.other than that, i almost raw vegetarian meaning i take mostly uncook or processed food eg. green leaves, carrots, seaweed and etc.but of course i need to cook mushroom, tofu. i made my own smoothie with rice dream , avacado, banana and some berries.

i mite be moving to japan./tokyu and really so tough to find decent vegetarians? sigh....

me 2...
i mean is isn't REALLY meat ..

but... i don't eat fish ...
one reason is because i don't like it..
but i also don't want to eat something that was just swimming around,
then got caught in a net,
then trhown in a boat with allot of other fish,
then died because it had no air,
and finally, the finishing touch,
it was thrown around by allot of ppl and then eaten by a bunch of hungry ppl....

wow, that was a long story..lol
