Question:

Are you allowed to eat fish and stuff like that if you are a vegetarian?


Answers:
No - vegetarians eat no animal flesh.

There are so-called pescotarians who eat fish but no meat. Some people call them pesco-vegetarians, but that's a misnomer. If you eat animals, you're not a vegetarian.

(Not that there's anything wrong with being a pescotarian - it's a perfectly fine diet choice, and healthy. But one shouldn't confuse it with vegetarianisms. That only causes problems for vegetarians who end up ordering a vegetarian meal and being served fish....)

Most vegetarians are lacto-ovo, meaning they eat dairy and eggs. Lacto-vegetarisns eat dairy but no eggs, ovo-vegetarians eat eggs but no dairy. Vegans eat no animal products at all.

Vegetarian means no animal meat and fish are animals. Vegans also don't eat eggs or dairy products.

Fish-no
eggs and dairy-yes

yes, most vegetarian stay away from red meat, poultry & fish r ok

yes vegetarians don't eat red meat
lacto vegetarians don't eat red meat or dairy products
ovo vegetarians don't eat red meat or egg products
while pesco vegetarians don't eat red meat or fish
vegans don't eat any animal products what so ever

Yes, you are allowed to eat fish and shellfish. Vegetarians don't eat red meat. Some may also eat chicken. My niece is a Vegan, meaning she won't drink milk or eat eggs, and she won't any sort of meat, including fish or shellfish. If you are concerned about it, look up some recipies for tofu dishes. Tofu is actually very good as long as it isn't bland!

Depends on your definition of vegetarian and how dedicated you are to the lifestyle. Most vegetarians don't eat red meat but white meat and seafood is considered ok. Vegans don't eat ANY meat or any animal bi-product ie. eggs and dairy.

Technically Vegetarians don't eat anything with a face

Ignore everybody who doesn't say "vegetarians don't eat animals".

i am a vegetarian, somewhat.
the only meat i eat is seafood and bird.
no cow, pig, or deer.....or any kind of mammal!!!

Yes, there are a few different types of vegitarians, ones who eat chicken, and ones who eat fish, and vegans, which dont eat any animal products

A true vegan does not eat meat, or any other product that comes from an animal (that means eggs, milk, cheese, etc.)

A fish is and animal by definition.

Like in all things in life, there are people that chose the path in between. There are people that call themselves vegans, but still find it okay to eat dairy products and even eggs. They justify their deviance by saying the aren't killing anything.

Those two sites should help you.

The fist one shows what happens to fish. The second one explains why vegetarians do not eat fish, and why it is VERY wrong to describe fish-eaters as vegetarian.

I mean, WOW a lot of these answerers as so very misinformed.

There is no vegetarian society that accepts people who eat dead fish, but only bunk websites written by people who have no idea what they are talking about.

No, no fish. Vegetarian means no meat.

no your not suppose to eat anything that had a face

The only things I eat are Crabs, Crawl fish, Shrimp, Lobster and fish
