Well is it? I know vegetarians who eat fish and still clasify themselves as vegetarians and people who eat fish on fridays during Lent because they say it isnt meat. If it isnt meat then what is it?

Personally I think that it's a load of bull**** and that it is meat.

People seem to be so stuck up and call only red meat the "official" meat, or whatever... Any flesh from an animal IS meat.

Whatever helps people sleep at night, I guess. As far as I'm concerned any muscle tissue is meat. I love it when vegetarians become selective about what they classify as meat when they get bored of their diet yet don't want to look like quitters.

Of course it's meat.

It just happens to be thehealthiest kind of meat you can possibly eat if you're going to eat meat.

I say it depends. The only fish I like is pickerol, or smoked fish. Good ol' natives.

100 % meat, since they are neither vegetable nor mineral they must be animal, which means "meat".

I have seen in the past people say things like, "I'm a vegetarian. I eat fish, but fish doesn't really count as meat."

I have never really understood why this happens, but there you go.

I guess I know all the smart vegetarians then... None of my 8 vegetarian friends would agree that eating fish was acceptable... Fake vegetarians ftl :x

Technically yes, but just barely. It's clearly one of the least manly meats out there.

I think its because when it became popular to fast a lot and eat much less meat, merchants were losing a lot of money. They needed to be able to sell something, so they just told people that fish really didn't "count" as meat. Now everyone can just lie to themselves when they try to be vegetarian.

Fish is meat, and they come from fishes.
