I vote for seagans it has a nice ring to it0

What about Nemotarian? I've always wanted to snack on cute little talking sea creatures. Maybe Arieltarian, Ursalatarian, or SebastiontheJamaicanCrabatarian?0
-
Or if you want a funny name - "Seagan" :laugh:
Seagan! I
this one! It would be cute on a t-shirt.
I can think of a ton of delicious Asian-inspired seagan dishes, too. I just may join you!
I love "Seagan". Makes me want to do this just so i can call myself one! :laugh: Seriously, though, I don't know if I could live without chicken and eggs

Why do you need a label for what you eat, or won't eat? I won't eat liver. What should I call myself?
Livertarian
They even have a website. http://www.lp.org/
There really is a name for everything.0 -
I wish people would order/eat whatever they want and do me the favor of NOT explaining to me why they eat the way they do.0

Alright, Seagans seems to be the most popular term so Seagans it is. the vegan part of the word seagan is ONLY used to show that no dairy or other meat is eaten, which would be vegan if not for the sea part, so sorry vegans but I am taking the gan part of your name hope that is not too much of a problem but my diet more closely resembles vegan than any other term, so it makes sense.0

my grandma told me something once that I think applies here.
if wishes were horses beggars would ride, if wishes were fishes we'd have some to fry.
it's ok I eat fish/seafood so I can use this saying here.0 -
Not me, but how about CRUSTACEAVEGANS with emphasis on the CRUSTy part...0

I like the "seagan" idea
I'm kinda working toward seaganism. But ultimately will probably end up vegan...currently I eat eggs too though.
So I'm an ova-seagan.....because people get all weird about lables especially if you don't fit into their definition I say "my diet is cruelty free"
This makes my head hurt! Do you ONLY eat free range eggs then? Do you only eat fish that died of natural causes? "Cruelty Free" is a bit of a nebulous label. I say, eat what you like, there's no need to call everything a special name. It' your decision!! Until there's a selection of lacto/ovo or freegan or seagan/ pesci (whatever), you're going to be stuck choosing things from the same menu as everyone sle so why bother labeling your choices?
Yes I do ONLY eat free range eggs, from a farm I have visited, that has roosters, and all of the chickens still have their beaks...I would never eat anything that died of "natural causes" cause that freaks me out, I am currently finishing off the fish that is in my house then, will only eat fish that was caught on a fishing line....I'm sure some see that as cruel too but it doesn't bother me
Yes we eat off the same menu, but what about when someone invites me to their house. If I say I'm a vegetarian then just about everything will have cheese, milk or eggs in it....that being said, if someone asks I say "vegan" b/c that lets them know what I will eat at there house. If I say "oh, well I eat eggs if you know exactly where they came from and how the chickens were treated" it's not going to change anything so to omnivores it's easiest just to say "I'm vegan" most people understand that term0 -
I clicked on this thread expecting Aquavegan to be some kind of super hero.
Me too.. I am very disappointed.0 -

LOL That is just it. OF COURSE it is ok. People seem to wear their diet choices as some kind of badge as if they need to justify their choices.
There are three conversations that could be had while ordering at a restaraunt.
1. "I would like the fish with a side of broccoli"
2."I would like the fish with a side of broccoli. I only eat seafood and veggies."
3."I would like the fish with a side of broccoli. I am a Seagan." "What's a Seagan?" "Someone who eats only seafood and veggies."0 -
The problem with coining your own new term is that only you know what it means and so you still end up having to explain it, so you've accomplished nothing. If you try and call yourself a vegan, but still eat meat then people will think you are either ignorant as to what the term means or just slow in the head. Still more explaining. Pescatarian really is what you are. Just a more specialized version. If and when they assume you eat dairy you say the word "no". That's about the shortest explanation you can hope for. There won't be a new term that you can invent that won't require an explanation - as you can see no one here has guessed right when it came to aquavegan. I thought it was a vegan who only ate water plants.
Really, if you think you can eat meat and call yourself a vegan, I'd love for you to meet my neighbor who is an avowed pacifist, but would love to shoot every illegal alien who comes across the border.0 -

hehe I think you have been scarred by preachy vegetarians and vegans, don't tar everybody with the same brush though, most people only explain when asked and actually dislike explaining, of course there are a few that just love to announce it to anyone and everyone but that's them. I go with choice one when ordering.0 -
"I hate fish, but I don't mind fish sticks."
Yes ... I know someone who said that.
I agree, no reason to have to label everything. Of course to each their own, your life, your choice.0 -

we changed it to seagan as the thread progressed, and I don't call myself a vegan at all, I only used part of the word because minus the fish I would be a vegan, closest term to my description.0 -
AQUAVEGAN TO THE RESCUE!0

I do like Seagan :-)

yes but hopefully for those that are good at deriving definitions from the parts of a word they will just get it, and if that means I have to explain to one less person...........even just one then it is worth it. Besides if it catches on then someday I won't have to explain it but you gotta start somewhere right, that's how we build our language. besides I'm explaining now as it is anyway so what's the difference, might as well make a word and be more accurate about it0 -

Uh, it would appear we build our langauge by overutilizing dumb words posted on twitter and FB now (thanks, MWebster).
I can see you introducing yourself as a seagan going many different ways, but not the way you hope. Not even a linguist (or shall I say, especially not) would just intuitively know what it means. It's not like you're using latin roots here or something. It doesn't help that you've made a term that is itself an oxymoron, making it even less intuitive. A "meat eating non-meat eater". Riiiight.

not since I stopped eating dairy and found this awesome new word to use, you see the beauty of it is I can call myself whatever I like and there isn't a thing you can do about it not one tiny little iota of a thing except continually try to debate with me about it and eventually try to sling insults but in the end the outcome will be the same, I will do what I want to do and you will have no say in it. Keep debating if you like though. I guess my question to you is, why are you bothering, you didn't actually contribute to what I really posted about in the first place and this affects your life in no way whatsoever so what does it matter to you?0 -
First time I heard 'vegan' I tought they were people who believed they were from Vega but had left their little tin foil hats at home. Labels. *shrug*0

hahahahahaha I almost peed a little, thanks for finally admitting you have a problem, next step realizing that an opinion is neither right nor wrong, don't worry you'll get there.0 -
I don't think there is a term yet for a vegan that eats seafood (I know I know not a vegan if you eat the flesh of any living creature) but their needs to be a term coined for a person that doesn't eat any dairy or meat except fish. most Pescetarians eat dairy so that won't work. So someone suggested aquavegans. Any other Aquavegans out there? How long have you been one? Did you notice any changes when you switched?
Why does their need to be a term for this? Labels are for cans, man. Just eat your fish and don't eat dairy.
so agree...vegetarians and vegans get so wrapped up in labels and some can be very judgmental about it.....That is why I dont label myself as anything 0
