Is one considered a type of vegetarian if they eat poultry and fish?

    I believe it's called pollo-pescatarian. Basically means white meat only.

    No. Chicken and fish are not vegetables.

    Fish eater = pescatarian

    chicken eater = omni

    Yeah, I would say no on that. I have heard the term pollo-pescatarian as MotivateMeg mentioned, but no I wouldn't considered that even a a close facsimile to vegetarian.

    It's more like someone who refrains from eating red-meat and pork. Which, don't get me wrong- is still half way there! It's definitely progress if you're aiming to be full-on veg.

    Pescetarian is the name for individuals that eat fish only, and dairy products. Ova-lacto vegetarian for individuals who include dairy and eggs in there diet. Not sure if there is a name for individuals who include chicken. I'm in the pescetarian family.

    No. Chickens and fish are animals and vegetarians do not eat animals.
