pescatarian

This term describes a specific dietary choice that sits between vegetarianism and omnivorism. It is typically used in health, nutrition, and lifestyle contexts to clarify that while land-based meats are avoided, seafood is permitted. The tone is neutral and descriptive, often used in medical or culinary settings to specify dietary restrictions.

When used as an adjective, it modifies nouns like diet, lifestyle, or meal. When used as a noun, it refers to the individual practicing the diet. It is distinct from a "flexitarian," who may occasionally eat meat, as a pescatarian generally adheres to a strict rule against land animals.
