Defining Pescatarianism
A pescatarian is someone who follows a pescatarian diet, a type of semi-vegetarian eating pattern. Pescatarians include fish and other seafood in their diet but exclude other types of meat and poultry. Some pescatarians also choose to avoid dairy products and eggs.
Ethical Considerations
Many people adopt a pescatarian diet for ethical reasons, believing it is wrong to kill land animals for food. They choose a primarily plant-based diet supplemented with seafood.
