I know someone who considers themself to be vegetarian but eats seafood. I have recently cut out eating meat

however I still eat fish and do not consider myself veggie because of this. Is this vegetarian or piscatarian

(this word is not in the dictionary)?

Hi! I believe the word you're looking for is Pescatarian

A lot of people where I live consider pescatarians to be vegetarians

I've had some arguements with restaurant staff over it blackeye

I've also noticed that it happens in Germany a lot, for some reason: Cafes and Restaurants will have a "Fleichlos" (land-dwelling meat-free) option (if you're lucky), but not necessarily a 'proper' vegetarian option.

Where I live as well many people think that vegetarians eat fish.
