fish eater

Dines on seafood

A fish eater is someone or something that eats fish.

The term applies straightforwardly to animals: Herons are dedicated fish eaters.

Applied to people, it can be a neutral dietary description or a derogatory term for Catholics, referencing the traditional practice of eating fish instead of meat on Fridays.
