Pescetarianism or pescatarianism (both spellings are accepted) is the practice of a diet that includes seafood and excludes other animals. In addition to fish and/or shellfish, a pescetarian diet typically includes some or all of vegetables, fruit, nuts, grains, beans, eggs and dairy. The Merriam-Webster dictionary dates the origin of the term "pescetarian" to 1993 and defines it to mean: "one whose diet includes fish but no meat."

My husband fervently dislikes my pescetarian diet. How can we move forward?

I (44F) have been married to my husband (49M) for 20 years. He is an omnivore and likes eating meat.

I was vegetarian as a teenager, was not when we met in our 20s (having felt I needed to give it up out of politeness/deference to cultural differences when a guest in someone’s home overseas for several weeks), but for the last 18 months have been pescetarian. He is not happy about this.

I’d like to be fully vegetarian and perhaps try being vegan for ethical/climate reasons, but my pescetarianism is a compromise because my husband is fervently anti-vegan. He refers to vegetarian food as ‘veggie muck’ and to vegan food such as vegan cheese or yogurt as ‘false advertising’ and rants about how it shouldn’t be called that.

I am not expressing any views about his dietary choices; although it would be nice if we were on the same page, I accept that he doesn’t want to change and am OK with us eating different things. I don’t make a fuss about his meat products being cooked alongside my veggie stuff, I don’t pass any comments when he orders meat-based meals when we eat out, in short, I’m trying to be very easy-going about it all.

Every couple of weeks he asks me when I’m going to start eating meat again and complains that I am ‘stopping him eating meat’ because he feels that we should be eating the same thing for dinner. He is particularly annoyed that the meal boxes we get (Mindful Chef) use vegan products ‘when they don’t need to’. I willingly buy him meat products (eg bacon) to add to the meal kits but he usually chooses not to do this. I’ve suggested we get a mix of the (two-portion) meal kits, some veggie, some with meat, and cook our own thing on alternate nights and have the second half when the other is cooking their thing. I’ve suggested he participate in choosing the meals we order by having the app on his phone and using my account.

I’m really struggling to see what else I can do without compromising further on something I feel strongly about. His regular complaints about my diet often reduce me to tears because of the tone and derogatory language he uses. I don’t attack his choices, I just want to be able to discuss this calmly and respectfully. I’ve told him this each time it’s happened and asked to postpone the conversation until he can continue politely/kindly, but he seems unable/unwilling to talk about it without being unpleasant about it.

What would you do?

New to Pescatarian, how can I eat a Pescatarian diet on a budget?

Luckily, I love squids and they are cheap here. I also live 10mins (motorbike) from the sea. However, shrimps are expensive. Any tips?

Update after breaking Pescatarianism

Health

142 days ago I posted on this sub asking for words of encouragement, feeling guilty and unsure.

I had low energy, was recovering from anemia after a year of iron supplements, experienced a grayish looking complexion and hair loss (34f) after 10 years meat free.

My skin has improved, my complexion has improved, my stomach issues have mostly resolved, I no longer feel like I’m dragging most days and most exciting- I HAVE NEW HAIR GROWTH!

My hair is still thin and still needs improvement in some places, but I am no longer obsessing over the way I part my hair, no longer agonizing if my hair is up or down what part of the hair loss will show.

It gets better guys, it really does!!!

Advice on eating a healthy pescatarian diet?

Ask ECAH

I’ve read that a traditional Japanese diet is one of the best for your cardiovascular health due to its basis on fresh healthy fish.

However, regularly buying seafood is expensive where I live and I’ve heard things like eating too much tuna is bad for you, due to elevated levels of Mercury.

Does anyone have advice on how to eat a cheap and healthy fish-based diet, and any resources for me to read on it?

For anyone who switched from a vegetarian diet to a pescetarian diet - was it worth it and/or has it improved your life in a significant way?

I've been vegetarian (still including eggs and dairy) for a little more than a year now, and I have been considering switching to pescetarianism. Since I was a young child, I have gone back and forth between full vegetarianism and eating fish, turkey, and chicken, although never returning to eating beef and pork. My main reason is just not wanting to eat animals.

I really miss seafood and feel that my diet now is boring and lacking in variety. I'm not sure that I am eating a healthy diet, either, because I always eat with my family, whom all eat meat, and the options at the restaurants we eat at are often very limited for me. When eating at home, I feel as though I'm a burden on my family, and they always worry that I don't eat enough.

For those of you that switched from vegetarianism to pescetarianism, how do you feel about it? Do you have a better diet? Do you feel better in general? Do you feel more "involved" and "included" when with your loved ones? How have you gotten past feeling guilty, if that was a concern for you?

What is the ethical justification for pescetarianism? & Some other questions.

I'm myself a vegetarian, eating dairy and eggs. I abandoned meat eating due to ethical and health reasons.

I was first vegan for years, but I couldn't maintain it primarily due to being constantly hungry and never feeling satisfied (6'2" 230 lbs), even though I actually gained weight (yes, I'm aware of whole foods, fiber, etc.). I also highly disliked how cooking intensive it is, but that's another topic.

I switched to vegetarianism, and things like quark / cottage cheese and eggs helped somewhat. I was thinking of switching back to meat eating, but I'm quite disgusted by the whole practice (the eggs I buy are sold by local farmers), and the ethical arguments are very solid against it.

Recently I've heard that ancient vegetarians (such as among the Greeks) did not consider fish to belong in the category of meat, which made me look up pescetarianism. Fish also represent a grey area among Indian vegetarians, with some eating it and some considering it impermissible (on the grounds of religion).

I'm interested in how pescetarians would defend their ethics, and on what grounds they consider the eating of fish as permissible but not the eating of other meat (like chicken, cow, etc.). I'd also like some insights on the health front; since vegans mention the heavy metals in fish.

Broke pescatarianism yesterday

Feelings of Guilt and Shame

Been a pescatarian for 10 years. Feeling guilty :( but sick of feeling like garbage, being pale, struggling with anemia and my hair is thin now (34f). How long did it take you to feel better? Hair regrowth? Any words of encouragement appreciated.
