it's always confused me, the whole "I'm vegetarian but I still eat fish" thing... (even though vegetarianism has always confused me but that's for a different time)
I guess if you look at the way fish are collected, it seems they're harvested rather than farmed (except the farmed ones, of course) but that's a stupid way to base your morals.
oh and for the record, if I want to eat meat, I will. if you think its "wrong" or "immoral" then go tell it to a bear, see what he thinks.

Fish is definitely meat, especially from a moral vegetarian perspective.
From a culinary perspective however, it can certainly make sense to differentiate between fish, foul and "meat". As they all have different tastes, textures and nutritional content.

Back in my Catholic days during lent we would always eat fish because you weren't supposed to eat meat, I think it said something in the bible or something I don't really know or remember. But I'm a gun touting meat eating person through and through so I'm gonna eat fish anyway and any other furry woodland creature.
The only thing that astonished me more than the complete nonsensical nature of this title was the fact that, upon entering this thread, I found 4 people had already said that they did not think fish was a meat.
DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT A FISH IS?
That's what a fish looks like. When you cut open a fish, you find flesh and guts. When you eat this flesh and guts, you are eating meat.
Hence, fish is meat. Not vegetable, not mineral, meat.
MEAT!

I'm surprised as to how long it took for someone to give the proper answer.SpawnOf84 said:
But yeah, it's that, God said you could it eat on some Friday or something, meaning it wasn't meat (makes no sense to me, but whatever).
They aren't considered meat in a basic food pie chart (dairy, fat, etc.) But they fall under "Meat, Fish and Alternatives". 'Alternatives' being things like eggs, which will apply to Vegans. As a note eggs appear in other categories too. So they are technically meat, and a pet peeve of my is those that don't consider them meat but call themselves a Vegetarian. Fucking Pescatarian in denial more like. *glares at dad's girlfriend*
I can't remember the exact verse (I'm not religious by the way, just interested in this stuff, I'll go find it.nuba km said:
Well actually, the bible itself doesn't say anything about it apparently, it's because all commoners could afford for the celebration of good Friday was fish, so it became accepted that it wasn't a meat.
