Pescatarian

Exploring Pescatarianism

A diet that excludes red meat and poultry, but includes seafood along with plant-based foods, eggs, and dairy.

A pescatarian diet is defined by the inclusion of seafood—fish and shellfish—alongside a largely plant-based diet. It explicitly excludes land-based animal meats like beef, pork, and poultry.

Many pescatarians choose this path to combine the heart-healthy benefits of omega-3-rich seafood with the high fiber and antioxidant profile of a plant-focused diet. It serves as a balanced bridge between omnivorous and vegetarian eating patterns.
