pescatarians

Fish-but-not-meat dieters

Pescatarians are people who eat fish and seafood but not other meat.

The diet otherwise resembles vegetarianism—vegetables, grains, dairy, and eggs are typically included.

Some adopt it for health reasons, others for environmental or ethical concerns about land-animal farming: I've been pescatarian for three years now.
