Did you know? A "pescatarian" is someone who eats a mostly vegetarian diet, but also eats fish and seafood as well.

Most simply, a pescatarian is someone who doesn't eat red meat or poultry but does eat fish and other seafood. The term pescatarian was coined in the early 1990s and is a combination of the Italian word for fish, “pesce,” and the word “vegetarian.” Sometimes it's spelt “pescetarian,” but this means the same thing.

There are many reasons people choose to forgo red meat and poultry, but still eat fish.

Some people choose to add fish to a vegetarian diet so they can get the health benefits of a plant-based diet plus heart-healthy fish.

Others might be trying to curb the environmental impact of their diet. For some, it might be simply a matter of taste.
