“Pescatarian” is a word that was created in the 1990s when people were adopting new habits of eating, particularly adapting vegetarianism to include eating fish. A pescatarian will usually still consume animal products such as dairy and eggs, but they eliminate meat from their diet, except fish. The term mashes up “vegetarian” with the Italian word for fish, “pesce.” A person can be a pescatarian (noun), and a menu or a dish can be described as pescatarian (adjective). You may also see the variant spelling, “pescetarian,” thanks to its Italian roots.
