Well the title says it all!

Few friends were having discussion on how seafood is considered as vegetarian seeing it is a white meat and not red meat. So the question came on what is vegetarian and what is not. My view was, despite seafood having white meat, it is still meat and thus not vegetarian and someone pointed that fish do not have blood. From there onwards, the discussion train changed tracks and we talked long and hard on the topic with no final answer since we all are vegetarians. So here it goes.

Do fish have blood? Doesn't matter what colour it is.

Yes, I know I have cleaned a few fish in my day.

Technically those that eat fish are not vegetarian.

Probably the reason some feel that if it were okay to eat fish is because Jesus served fish and bread to the masses.

If this food was okay in the Bible then it must be okay to eat.

Also fish do not fall into the other categories of "unclean animals" No hoofs- not pork- and

The other reason is this is a replenish-able food source that can easily be managed.

Not to mention there is not a taste of meat when you eat it.

Yes. Have you never gone fishing or seen any shows with people eating fresh fish?

That is an odd statement for your friend to make

We are all vegetarians. No, we haven't gone fishing nor have we seen people eating fresh fish!

Thanks for the answers all. That settles it.

A vegetarian still eats fish and products produced by animals such as eggs and milk. A vegan however avoids any food produced or tested on animals and will not consume eggs, drink milk, or any dairy products for that matter and will refuse to eat any forms/types of meat, insect etc.

I once got stabbed by a catfish, and I thought it was going to be pretty bad because my hand was covered in blood while I was still trying to get the hook out. It ended up being just a little puncture in my hand, but not too much blood, mostly from the fish.

A fish isn't a vegetable. Vegetarians don't eat animal meat. Pesco-vegetarians (I found this word via a good search so it may be wrong) eat fish and vegetables believing this is a healthy diet.

No fish do not have blood. It's a red liquid that resembles blood. Totally vegetarian. Ok so the liquid does have blood cells in it and hemoglobin. but it's not like human blood. no sir, totally vegetarian...yep.

It's "Pescetarian", and it's a synonym for hypocrite :laugh:

They don't eat meat, unless it's fish. Because as we all know, fish are plants.

      Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
