Question: Fish is considered meat right!?
So vegetarians cannot eat fish

I have recently decided to become a vegetarian despite my families disapproval I am 16 but I really want to do this

My mom is making a "special" fish dinner tonight - eww
and she is trying to convince me that fish is not "meat" therefore I can still be a vegetarian and eat it

sick I know right

but is she right about fish not being meat!? What about tuna and salmon

This is kind of a dumb question but I really want to knowWww@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Meat is the flesh of an animal!. Fish are animals!. Vegetarians don't eat animals!. Therefore, vegetarians do not eat fish (or any other sea life, for that matter!.)

Your mom is either confused by the self-proclaimed fish-eating "vegetarians" (who are also confused) or she's confused by the Catholic church's old "fish on Fridays" thing!. Either way, she's mistaken!.

(Tuna and salmon ARE fish, so I'm not sure what you mean there!.!.!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Tell your mom that vegetarians don't eat fish!.

Fish are animals, veggies don't eat animals!.

Here is what the Vegetarian Society say about eating fish:

''VEGETARIAN – someone who doesn’t eat animals
FISH – cold-blooded, water-dwelling animal

Fish may not appear as cute and cuddly as young lambs, however they do feel pain and they do suffer!. The fishing industry is responsible for some of the most environmentally damaging practices affecting our seas and oceans today!. What’s more eating fish can be bad for your health''!.

Technically you are right, fish is meat!. But, many vegetarians make an exception for fish and even chicken!. I think thats a hypocritical cop out myself but I'm not a vegetarian so I don't really care much!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Of course, fish is meat!. Fish is a living being that was killed for food!. Have you never watched fish in an aquarium!? They are sensitive creatures and respond to signals of love and affection!. I wouldn't want to hurt them poor babies!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Fish is seafood, but to a vegetarian, it's in the meat catagory, a no, no! also, no tuna or salmon!.!.!.sorry!Www@FoodAQ@Com

A vegetarian usually doesn't like meat or like animals suffering!. Fish is not meat but is an animal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
