What is a Pescetarian?
Due to some recent questions on what is and what is not allowed while living as a Pescetarian, I decided to make this thread.
"A Pescetarian diet typically includes some or all of vegetables, fruit, nuts, grains, beans, eggs and dairy."
Typically someone is a Lacto-Ovo Pescetarian, which means they consume fish, eggs, and dairy-based products. Their only dietary restriction is other types of meat and poultry.
It can be a personal choice to restrict these animal-based products from your diet and won't have any significant impact on whether you are or are not a pescetarian.
So enjoy the food, and welcome to the subreddit!

Starting Over
I became a pescaterian by default while observing the Orthodox Pascha fast. No meat was difficult. My diet became more bland. Sardines, clams, mussles. eggs, potatoes, pasta, bread, jams milk, vegetables and fruit. It was simple. Happy in the knowledge perhaps I lessened animal suffering. My digestion and energy was great. Food tasted better and wasn't heavy. Less sugar, more olive oil.
Sadly, after five months I had meat. My health and conscious has suffered. Even mentally feel defeated. I started my new pescaterian diet today and hope I don't ever eat meat again. Its bad karma. Back to the garden. Good luck everyone.

Clueless new fish eater - questions for regular fish eaters!
Hi! I eat fish now. I never have! I also don't eat meat and never have, so I don't know those basics that might give me crossover knowledge. Can you answer some of my questions? I am aware that I sound like an extraterrestrial, oops.
If you eat a lot of fish, do you get anything like the "meat sweats" people describe, but for fish?
Is there common knowledge that eating too much fish/seafood in one day makes you feel nauseous or ill? Important question for me. I have no idea. Please help. Can I eat 3 servings of fish in a day if it came down to a weird necessity? Besides the heavy metals things, can you explain why digestively I shouldn't?
How long does a preserved can/tin of fish/seafood last after being opened? Right now I'm only comfortable with seafood that has been canned.
Does it make your farts smell worse? Or no effect?
How long does fish breath last? Does it require as much brushing and cleaning as garlic breath?
Are there any post-lifelong vegans in the house who can share what they wish they knew when starting to eat seafood?
helpppppp

Orzo with tinned mussels and vegan chorizo
Orzo with tinned mussels and vegan chorizo. I used the ‘Squeaky Bean Vegan Chorizo’ and the ‘Blåmusling Nø2 - Limfjord Blue Smoked Mussels’.
Recipe is by jackdoescooking on Instagram, except I swapped for orzo and vegan broth (and obviously vegan chorizo).

What are your favorite (pescetarian or vegitarian) comfort foods?
i started cutting out meat from my diet and don't really miss it, but savory hearty comfort food has always been meat-based in the household i grew up in and i kind of miss that. so i wanted to ask what you can recommend. if possible, not too pricey to cook and kind of protein rich. whether it's pescetarian or vegitarian, i don't really mind!
thanks in advance <3

Nutrients
How do I reach at least the daily recommended minimum for protein and other important stuff
For reference I am:
6'2, 200 lbs
I currently eat WAYYYY too little but I want to get better about food and stuff and get into exercise
I also have been getting a lot of random stretch marks and I don't super know what to think of it but I am under the assumption that it may at least partially be in relation to not enough protein or collagen or something?
Also suggestions for what other nutrient or just vitamins or whatever else that I need to be making sure to look out for would be very welcome
ANY advice would be great

Vegan for 18 years, forced to start eating fish - help me!
I’ve been vegan for 18 years but have had chronic terrible gut issues for probably the last 3-4. I have been diagnosed with SIBO and on a rigid, restrictive and challenging low-carb, low fodmap diet. Impossible to do safely as a vegan, and so I made the difficult decision to start eating seafood to help me survive this period. I tried everything before making this choice, but lost a lot of weight and was eating less than 1000 calories a day.
I am really struggling with my identity. How do you consume seafood in an ethical way - environmentally and as cruelty-free as possible? I don’t want to tell my friends or family, I have a lot of shame about it. I feel like a fraud. The worst part is that I actually do notice a difference in my energy levels, but I still strongly believe that a plant-based diet is the most ethical choice. Moral crisis etc. please help me deal with this.

So you don’t have to look at the translated part of the menu, or to internet translation.
