Yes it is considered meat. It is the flesh of sea animals, and for a while now it is proven that fish also feel pain and suffer when being caught and slaughtered, even if they don't scream.
What is worse, so-called aqua-farms are rapidly becoming the factory farms of the seas, where almost 90% of our salmon and other popular fish is now "harvested" from. Every farmed fish consumes up to 5 wild fish as feed, so it contributes greatly to overfishing and extinction of wild species.
Again worse, no food is as contaminated with pollutants as fish nowadays - it has incredibly high amounts of mercury and chemicals, dethroning all other animal products as highest polluted food. Any recommendation to consume more seafood and fish is entirely irresponsible and misguided.
Fish is neither needed for omega 3 nor for protein or other nutrients in a well balanced vegetarian diet.
And if you are not sure if fish actually do feel pain or are badly abused in the food production, take a look at this: http://www.belsandia.com/factory-farming…

Well its not considered to be traditional meat by the looks of it. I cannot trace the reasoning why this would be, but if oyur friend still consumes fish please let them know not to call themselves a vegetarian as it just waters down the term & confuses non-vegetarians.
A vegetarian will not eat anything capable of feeling pain & basically anything that is capable of locomotion (ie isn't rooted into the ground/grows from the ground)
vegetarian
Well, it is, and your friend is either an idiot or misguided. Vegetarians do not eat the flesh of animals, and last time I checked, fish are animals.
Okay, maybe I should be nicer. Perhaps your friend is confused because Catholic and Jewish dietary laws don't treat fish as meat, but then these laws were written before humans had much of an understanding of biology.
For my generation fish is not meat. That was because of the Pope. Catholics could not eat meat on Friday. But have fish. Then some Pope removed the restriction. And it was ok to eat meat on Friday. So it just became another meat to most. It has some argument. Not to be called meat. I can not remember what they were. I was to young to remember what they were. But it was a church issue for many years. Between different religions. More than a public isue.
yes, idk if anyone said this already but someone who eats fish instead of mammalspoultry is called a pescetarian (i dont remember how to spell it lol) and someone who eats NO animals at all is a real vegetarian. then if you handle zero animal products youre a vegan.
Yes of course it is it's the flesh of a living creature isn't it? Vegetarians are retarded always saying "Fish isn't meat" and "Its ok to eat fish because they don't feel pain" well yes they actually do ********* do a little research.
Technically speaking any food item that is made from the protein and such of an animal is considered meat. Some vegetarians do eat fish though because it is not a red meat.
Fish is meat, but some vegetarians still eat it because they claim the fish are not tortured before they are killed, like all the other animals are.
So your friend is a pescetarian. Oh well. He or she will probably fail biology unless s/he figures out that fish actually are animals.
Fish are animals.
Meat is the flesh of an animal.
Vegetarians do not eat meat.
Therefore,
one who eats fish is NOT a vegetarian.
what does your silly friend think fish is? A fruit?
IT'S A MEAT. The meat of a fish. FIsh meat. With veins, blood and muscles.
Fish was considered to be meat the last hundreds of times this question was asked, still is, and always will be.
you see people say that fish isn't meat because it doesn't live on land that's why people eat fish on good Friday.
If fish is not meat, then what is it? Leaves?! Good gravy Marie.
No, they are swimming potato's.
yes its still flesh
fish is a type of meat,but it is up to debate, some religions like Christianity say that fish is not meat so it is up to you.
vegetarians are stubborn like that, and yes they do believe that nonsense unfortunately
Poultry but yeah
