I've used the term Pescatarian but people don't know what I'm talking about usually so it's easier for me to say Vegetarian.
 
It's obviously not vegetarian, but if you say that you're a pescetarian and someone asks what in the heck you mean, just explain that the only meat you eat is fish.
 
No...no one can be considered vegetarian if they eat fish. Fish and shellfish has meat within them correct? Vegetarians don't eat meat. Pescatarian, fine (i dont use that term though)...but not 'Vegetarian who eats fish'...that's practically an oxymoron. And I don't understand why people say 'Fish isn't meat'...that makes no sense at all.
 
Yeah, you are still considered a vegetarian.

Vegetarians don't eat red meat/cattle. But they do eat other types of meat, and fish is included in that, chicken as well.
 
Yes. Most of the worlds vegetarians eat fish they are called pescetarians.
 
Meat eaters and other fake vegetarians will consider you a vegetarian if you eat fish.

Real vegetarians don't eat any kind of animal and will not consider you a vegetarian.
 
no. you're not a vegetarian if you eat fish. you're just somebody who doesn't eat meat except for fish. "pescetarian" is the only short title for that.
 
first... vegetarians don't eat fish... (or chicken or any other meat) so no, it is not vegetarian to eat fish

second... you can call yourself whatever you want but here's why you should continue telling people you are pescetarian and then explain what that is
because when you tell them you are vegetarian and then they see you eating fish they assume that fish is vegetarian and when and IF they become vegetarian they'll eat fish not knowing the truth
and fish feel pain just like any other animal and deserve to be saved too... just because they aren't cute or cuddlely like other animals doesn't mean they should be eaten

here's why you shouldnt eat fish
a) you have to explain to people what pescetarians are
b) if you're doing it for the animals, fish feel pain
c) if you're doing it for the environment, fishing harms the environment a lot
d) and fish isn't healthy... it has lots of mercury
e) and if you're doing it to be cool, being a vegetarian is "cooler" than being a pescetarian...
