Some people consider that vegetarian, but I never understood that myself. When I was vegetarian, I didn't eat fish. I did eat eggs, though. Since they were unfertilized I didn't have a problem with them, and it helped me stick with the diet for as long as I did.

>Some people consider that vegetarian,

it's a christian cultural thing, mostly catholic. because the church decided fish aren't meat.

Ah, I allways wondered about that as being stupid well, now with that institution as the cause, it makes sense.

Also Jewish people don't consider fish meat for the purposes of keeping kosher.
