pescatarian

No-meat fish eater

A pescatarian is someone who doesn't eat meat but does eat fish and seafood.

The diet otherwise resembles vegetarianism—vegetables, grains, dairy, eggs.

Some adopt it for health reasons, others as an ethical compromise: I'm mostly vegetarian but pescatarian when we go out for sushi.
