Fish is NOT meat...simple like that.?!
Answers: how is it meat? fish is fish...meat is meat....any animals that lays eggs arent meat so what about chicken? u should know its poultry...duh...and poultry is poultry...
Meat by definition in the Flesh and Muscle of any animal, When you eat fish you are eating the muscle of the fish therefor you are eating meant.
That being said your diet is your business, if you want to eat a Vegetarian/fish diet do it. It is a VERY healthy diet
It's flesh aka meat. So YES, it is meat.
Check out the definition:

Oh wow, that was the craziest logic.
So are the Plants, Bacteria, Fungus, Single-celled organisms?
Check your biology. A fish has all the characteristics of an animal:

And poultry falls into the same thing.
How old are you to not know this much? I learned this back in elementary school...
And beef is beef, and pork is pork - you can justify anything as being 'non-meat' through that simplistic logic. All animals produce eggs. How do eggs make any difference whatsoever? What about dolphins? Scallops? Frogs? The noble platypus? What are they if killed?
I always learned that animal flesh is meat. Since both fish and birds are biologically considered animals (Kingdom animalia, as someone else pointed out), I can't imagine how they WOULDN'T be meat.
I could give fish to you if you were a strict Catholic and your dietary choices reflected your religious beliefs, but beyond that, you've just sort of made this up on your own.
Well, thanks to the English language, that's a more complex question than it needs to be.
"Meat" originally meant 'a portion of food.' That is, food which was measured out--or meted out. Before the 14th-15th centuries, the word 'flesh' was used, and then qualified by saying it was fish, poultry, veal etc.
I suspect your question has to do with whether a vegetarian can eat fish. That depends on your reason for being a vegetarian. Is it because: 1) you object to eating animal products? or, 2) is it a matter of food safety?
1) A vegan is a person who eats no animal products at all and usually does so out of a moral conviction; a vegetarian will eat eggs and milk but not the animals that produced them.
2) Recent studies of the beef industry reveal some alarming practises that should concern everyone, and would be good reason to consume niether beef nor dairy. Likewise, the poultry industry. There is little doubt that 'farmed' fish are unsafe to consume. Pork? I don't suggest that anyone eat pork at all. What to do? Eat only animal products that you know the origin of--such as free-range, hormone-free beef and chicken. Eat wild fish only, and no more than once a week (pollution affects them too). Buy fresh veggies locally or better still grow your own.
You can't actually believe that, right?
To a vegetarian, meat is the flesh of ANY animal. Fish and birds are animals. Their flesh is meat. Techinically, human flesh, if consumed, would be meat as well.
Perhaps you choose not to label fish and bird flesh as "meat". But, it is still the carcass of a dead animal, right? Call it "grotteg" if you want, but it's still a dead animal. "duh"
Fish are animals, chickens are animals, true vegetarians don't eat animals.
When someone says fish or poultry are is not "meat" that's cooking terminology and has nothing to do with biology or vegetarianism.
However, there is some confusion because a lot of people say poultry and fish are healthier than red meat. Then some people will stop eating red meat and call themselves "vegetarian" even though they still eat animals.
Geez, your IQ must be in the negative numbers.
Meat is animal flesh. Unless you're trying to imply that fish and chicken are not animals, fish is meat.
God, you are dumb as a brick.
The flesh of a dead animal is meat. Fish is meat, beef is meat, poultry is meat, pork is meat. Vegetarians don't eat dead animals. It really is simple like that.
fish has flesh, though. no? simple like that.
anything with flesh is considered to be meat. humans flesh would also be considered to be meat.
you must be really stupid to think otherwise.
Meat is animal flesh, that's how.
Thanks for creating a new ID to ask :-)
Oh, why are people so dense?
Any type of animal flesh is meat. This is not hard to comprehend.
If fish isn't meat, what the heck do you think it is? A vegetable?
