Answers:
I agree!. I have a friend who says she is vegetarian BUT she eats fish!. I could ask her what her motivations are for eating fish and labeling herself veggie but I fear that would seem "snobbish" of me!.

My theory, is that people who call themselves veg yet eat seafood do it because either they think fish don't feel pain or they don't care about fish because they aren't fluffy and cute!. There are many cultures who would consider fish to be vegetarian because they aren't land animals though!. I think this may stem from their religion!.

I am always thinking in my head "Which bush, tree, bulb, grass, or root do fish grow on!?"Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm not a vegetarian, but I did have a vegetarian roomate once!. She told me that there are different levels of being a vegetarian!. Some don't touch any animal flesh at all, while other don't consider fish and/or shellfish to be meat and consume them!. There are also vegetarians who eat no animal products, like milk and other dairy products, as well as eggs, and there is another form of vegetarian that's called a vegan, but I can't remember what they can't eat because the list seems to be pretty long!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Actually, if they are only eating fish, they aren't called vegetarians, they are called Pescatarians!. I am a Pescatarian, so I don't tell people I am a veggie, I just saw "I don't eat meat" or that " I am a pescatartian"!. Next time someone eats only fish, you can correct them!. And for me, it isn't about the killing of animals, it is just a personal preference!. So not all "veggies" are out there to save animals!. It might be other reasons!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Something to do with the Bible!. I forgot the verse!. Just go through the run-down: no meat, white meat, poultry, fish, shelfish, face, momma/dadda, eggWww@FoodAQ@Com

They aren't vegetarians who think it's okay to eat fish, they're fish-eaters who like to think of themselves as vegetarians!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't know!.!.!.maybe people believe that fish can't feel pain!. But fish do suffer when they're impaled, crushed, suffocated, or sliced open and gutted, all while they're fully conscious!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I agree! If someone calls themselves vegetarian, they should not eat fish or any other animal whether it is a land or water animal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
