Answers:
It depends on what kind of "vegetarian" you are. There are many different kinds of vegetarians and many reasons for becoming one. If it is for health reasons, then it is up to you. If it for spiritual reasons then no. I am a lacto-vegetarian which means I eat milk products. I am a vegetarian because I don't believe in killing an animal to satisfy my senses. There is no need. So, in my case, no fish. But if it is only for the health benefits then fish may be a way for you to get what you need vitamin and mineral-wise.
whatever floats your boat.
No
yes you can eat any kind of fish because it is not considered a meat. you should eat fish when you are a vegetarian because you need protein in your diet
U R allowed to eat anything you want. You are also allowed to call yourself whatever you want to too. Vegetarian, vegan, carnivore, omnivore, whatever.
Unless you're trying to achieve Buddha style enlightenment, then you wouldn't need my advice.
There are no rules. Everyone defines their own vegetarianism. Some don't eat meat from hoofed animals but will eat fish.
Yes you can, tori. I have a niece who is a vegan, but before she became one, she ate fish and shellfish and on a rare occasion she would have chicken. I advised her to find different ways to cook tofu so that she got her needed protein. I'm neither a vegetarian or vegan, but even I enjoy tofu if it is seasoned well!
No, fish is not considered vegetarian. Fish used for processing(food) is raised in things called aquafarms then killed and processed.
Fish are considered animals, so no they are not vegetarian.
i think it is a very interesting question, i have always wondered about that myself.. i starred it, but unfortunately do not have the answer for you.. :(
Yes you can some vegetarians don't eat fish but it depends on how you feel.
I was a vegetarian for nine months until it cause me too lose tons of weight so I had to go back to eating meat for my health. I ate fish because I didn't and still don't consider fish as a meat. Some people consider it a meat and some don't. Its your own opinion that matters! I would eat fish because it has protein in it and you need to still have protein intake so that you don't lose weight like I did.
I myself am vegan. Vegans do not eat fish, beef, pork, dairy products, veal. eggs -- essentially anything that comes from an animal.
There are varying degrees of vegetarianism, however. I know many people who practice vegetarianism; they don't eat meat but still eat fish. It's OK. It just depends on your personal convictions and on the reasons why you choose to become a vegetarian.
You can be a lacto-ovo vegetarian: they abstain from all meat and fish, but do eat eggs and dairy products.

Also, the website, www.peta.org can tell you so much more about why vegetarianism/veganism is the healthy and environmentally responsible way to live!

There is no *type* of vegetarian who eats animals.
Not-eating-animals is, quite specifically, what vegetarians do.

Those two sites should help you.
The fist one shows what happens to fish. The second one explains why vegetarians do not eat fish, and why it is VERY wrong to describe fish-eaters as vegetarian.
I mean, WOW a lot of these answerers as so very misinformed.
There is no vegetarian society that accepts people who eat dead fish, but only bunk websites written by people who have no idea what they are talking about.
Well , technically , no . However there are allot of "Vegetarians" who will eat fish and poultry . The definition of "vegetarian" is someone who does not eat red meat , fish or poultry . many so - called vegetarians do indeed eat fish and poultry without consuming any red meat . that includes my wife , which would make me a vegetarian too . So anyway the answer is , NO. You can always choose your own definition , as well, many have , before.
No - vegetarians eat no animal flesh.
There are so-called pescotarians who eat fish but no meat. Some people call them pesco-vegetarians, but that's a misnomer. If you eat animals, you're not a vegetarian.
(Not that there's anything wrong with being a pescotarian - it's a perfectly fine diet choice, and healthy. But one shouldn't confuse it with vegetarianisms. That only causes problems for vegetarians who end up ordering a vegetarian meal and being served fish....)
Most vegetarians are lacto-ovo, meaning they eat dairy and eggs. Lacto-vegetarisns eat dairy but no eggs, ovo-vegetarians eat eggs but no dairy. Vegans eat no animal products at all.
Strictly speaking, no, as vegetarianism defined is 'a diet exculding all meat and fish'. You can get protein from other sources that are veggie-friendly, such as beans, lentils, pulses, eggs. But then, as has been said, everyone has a different view of 'vegetarianism'. A lot of veggies I know eat fish, and that is generally accepted, I just don't hold with the people who claim to be veggies, but then eat white meats such as poultry. There is no shame in just saying that you don't like to eat red meat! I don't like game but it doesn't make me veggie!!
Personally though, I am of the feeling that humans were built as ominvores and should be omnivores. If you're unsure about eating meat becuase of the way it is processed, then make sure to buy from farm shops, or free range, and don't eat takeaways!! If you just don't like it, don't eat it!!
A vegetarian is restricted to veggies, fruits, grains, etc.
However, a PESCATARIAN is allowed to eat seafood but still excludes beef, pork, etc from their diets!
no
No!
No fish and no stuff! :)
