     Any individual who eats meat cannot call themselves a vegetarian.
Personally, I think the only class of individual who should be called
"vegetarian" is one who eats no animal products such as eggs and milk-
based foods.  I remember reading the preface to a so-called vegetarian
cookbook, where the author stated one of her main reasons for vegetar-
ianism was that she felt no need to kill animals to eat, yet this book
contained many recipes that used eggs.  (I wonder how this author felt
about abortions...)

     Perhaps your fishy friends could call themselves "non-mammalian
omnivores..."
