When I became a vegetarian a year ago, something I kept getting told (and still do) was: "Vegetarian, huh? Must have to eat a lot of fish to make up for not eating meat, right?" <-This statement confuses me XD do people not consider fish meat? I know a few Catholic "vegetarians" who eat fish because... reasons! It's never made sense to me. The idea I've always had as a vegetarian is you aren't eating animals period -which would include fish, right? XD 

But I dunno. I digress. Do you guys consider fish a kind of meat?

Of course Fish is meat, it's a far healthier one but it's still meat...

It's flesh from a dead (usually) animal. I think it qualifies.

Personally, I think I would avoid sweeping, all-encompassing labels like "vegetarian". That way I could just eat what I wanted without having to worry about questions like that.

Fish is meat from the sea. Likewise, meat is grounded fish!

I've tried before. Being at a party and when someone asks what I'd like to eat and I say I don't eat meat (or similar such things) I've often had them return with fish on my plate. I mean I could say I don't want anything that was once a living animal, but that'd sound weird XD

There are people who consider themselves pescetarian - people who eat only fish and not other meats. I think the "logic" surrounding eating only fish is that it's somehow more sustainable than eating other meats because of fish farms. However, this holds little weight in the real world and is really just a stupid way to make yourself different from the other, demonic meat-eaters.

I think it's meat.

Casually today is Holy Friday, and I know a lot of people that think eating fish is ok because it's not meat, because meat can only come from land animals, but as far as I know, red meat is the only one forbidden because it represents Christ's body. Chicken it's mixed, some people think it's acceptable, others don't.

So to Catholics, it really is not considered the same. That's interesting. Yeah the reason I brought up Catholics in the OP was because I've noticed the majority who say it isn't meat tend to be Catholics. 

ofcourse fish is meat

there are many people that don't eat red meat, but do eat fish - they often (wrongly) say they are "vegetarians" (because pretty much nobody uses the word "pescetarian"), which might explain the confusion of your hosts

I've always thought of fish as meat, just because it is okay on Fridays doesn't mean it's not. I mean, look it has the same characteristics of meat: It's part of an animal, animal was alive, animal bleeds, should be cooked (lol), needs to be cleaned, and fish need to be hunted. I think the difference is that fish are the stupidest animals we eat haha.. Like excluding dolphin, but who eats dolphin (I mean come on, I seen a dolphin laughing at someone doing Yoga the other day, that stuffs funny).
