> vegan + fish

According to Wikipedia's table (and the term's page itself) that is still 'pescatarian': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetarianism#Varieties

I looked it up because I happened across the table recently and wondered what this was called - I did think pescatarian implied dairy & eggs. (So maybe you were right, 'vegan + fish' is easier than 'pescatarian w. dairy or eggs'...)

I mainly specify for ease; not a ton of people know what pescatarian is. Vegan + fish is easy to parse for your average person.

When I was pescatarian I found very few people knew what that was, so I cut the seafood and became vegetarian. Now I don’t have to explain myself.

Agreed, GP is technically pescatarian (no meat except fish, dairy/eggs are irrelevant), but pescatarianism is usually used to indicate a subset of vegetarianism not veganism, so "vegan + fish" conveys more information to me.
