A pescatarian diet is a type of vegetarian diet that includes fish and other seafood, but excludes meat and poultry. Pescatarians are individuals who choose not to eat meat but do eat fish, eggs and dairy products. This type of diet is considered a semi-vegetarian diet and is often adopted for ethical, environmental, or health reasons. It provides many of the benefits of a vegetarian diet, including a reduced risk of heart disease, obesity, and certain cancers, while also allowing for the inclusion of nutritious seafood.
