ever heard from a vegetarian that he/she never eats meat but then he/she says he/she likes fish. and dont start to argue that fishes are meat because they say then its not. i think fishes are animals.
what do you think, are fishes plants or animals? are you a vegetarian and eat fish?
Talk to the crazy scientist people who make this stuff up.
Um.. terms like meat or fish, in a culinary matter, and generally too, aren't really all too scientifical; also I don't consider anyone a scientist who says not eating meat at all is good for you. So forgive me if I have a hard time understanding your statement.

Don't worry about it. I'm not going to try and explain. Just end up confusing myself too then.
They tend to say they eat nothing with a face? Now that's the most ridiculous excuse I've heard XD
Technically, the steak in my plate doesn't have a face. Wouldn't that allow vegs to eat it? :P But I guess then vegetarians could also eat jellyfish. You think it's yummy?^^
Meat is animal flesh that is used as food. Most often, this means the skeletal muscle and associated fat and other tissues, but it may also describe other edible tissues such as organs and offal. In the Anglosphere, meat is generally used by the meat packing industry in a more restrictive senseâ"the flesh of mammalian species (pigs, cattle, lambs, etc.) raised and prepared for human consumption, to the exclusion of fish, poultry, and other animals. Usage varies worldwide by culture, and some countries such as India have large populations that avoid the consumption of all or most kinds of meat. Game or bush meat is also generally distinguished from that produced by agriculture.
from Merriam-Webster
1 a : food; especially : solid food as distinguished from drink b : the edible part of something as distinguished from its covering (as a husk or shell) 2 : animal tissue considered especially as food: a : flesh 2b; also : flesh of a mammal as opposed to fowl or fish b : flesh 1a; specifically : flesh of domesticated animals 3 archaic : 1meal 1; especially : dinner 4 a : the core of something : heart b : pith 2b <a novel with meat> 5 : favorite pursuit or interest
Is that to say you don't think we should call people by what they eat? To me, each person is either a vegetarian or not. I also think vegetarians don't eat fish because fish are meat.
Conclusion, depends.
Why would you consider
2 : animal tissue considered especially as food: a : flesh 2b; also : flesh of a mammal as opposed to fowl or fish b : flesh 1a; specifically : flesh of domesticated animals
to mean depends? I say fish are meat because of what I bolded as well as reasons from my previous arguments on this topic.
Fish are obviously not plants. People who only eat fruits and vegetables are vegetarians. Vegetarians who also eat fish are more correctly called "escatarians"
humans are sometimes unlogic. they say something and do then something different like "shut the lights down they use to much energy" but then they let the tv on the whole night. or "i dont eat meat but i eat fish and fish is not meat"...facepalm...
In the time of the Lent/fast, people were not allowed to eat meat. This did not include the young of hares and rabbits as well as fish. If I remember correctly, fish was not considered meat as it was cold blooded, and thus not "alive". This makes it a pretty old thought.
Besides, not all vegetarians are quite alike, and many might not be taking the strictest route to their goal.
Besides, considering the many different reasons why one might choose to be a vegetarian, I do not find it particularly odd that some might supplement their diet with fish (which is rather healthy, after all, and not under the same taboo of other meats), just like some add milk and eggs as part of their diet.
