This is interesting... after not eating meat for about 8 months, last year
I had some sushi.  It was listed in the menu as being vegetarian, with
no meat.  While eating, I notced some TINY pieces of fish nestled in
among the rice.  Annoyed, I complained, though I had already eaten a
few.  Apparently, they didn't consider fish to be meat.  "No meat, no
meat!  Is FISH!" they said.

Anyway, about an hour later, I came down with a horrible headache,
my stomach was rolling around, etc... I felt very naseous.  I
don't know if it was just the fact that the fish was raw, or if it
was the meat itself.

Recently, I went there again, and asked for a rice dish... I said, "No
meat!  No fish!"  They said ok, and what did I find but little bits of
fish in the bowl... some people just don't listen.  Anyway, I've stopped
going to Japanese restaurants.
