pescetarians
Fish-eating non-carnivores
Pescetarians are people who abstain from eating meat but do eat fish and seafood.
The diet otherwise resembles vegetarianism, typically including eggs, dairy, and plant foods.
Some adopt it for health reasons, others for environmental or ethical concerns—fish farming and wild catch being seen as less harmful than livestock production.
My sister is pescetarian, so we're having salmon tonight.
