is fish meat?

From thefreedictionary.com
"The edible flesh of animals, especially that of mammals as opposed to that of fish or poultry."

Hmmm.

From Google:

"Definitions of meat on the Web:

* the flesh of animals (including fishes and birds and snails) used as food"

Depends what "definition of meat" you interpret, I guess. I always thought it was obvious that meat encompassed all that is flesh from a living creature, be it beef, chicken, pork, fish, bird... Any flesh is meat, no? Saying "fish is fish" is kinda like saying, well... beef isn't meat, beef is BEEF!

Dietary Guidelines for Americans - U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and U.S. Department of Agriculture, according to this, fish is in the "meat & beans" food group (page 21)

Health Canada food guide, in Canada fish is also considered meat.

So yes, fish *is* meat (according to both our countries!), it's just 'some people' seem to 'have their own definition' of what meat is.

i go with this one

it has to do with taste clustering and substitution

if im in the mood for meat, i can eat pork, beef, lamb, goat, etc, but not chicken

if im in the mood for fish, meat wont cut it....
 
it depends on what your definition of meat is when used.

neat thing is, in china, when you say meat, people think of pork, while here in the states, people think of beef.

I can cook steak in a chili that has an EXACT fish-like flaky texture. Come over. Get dominated. Fish is meat. Meat is people.

We get it. We classify meat into subgroups. Poultry, game, herding animals and fish. They're all animals. They're all meat.
 
Meat = animal flesh
Fish = animal
Fish flesh = Meat

People who refuse to call fish flesh "meat" for the simple sake of being able to continue calling themselves vegetarians have something wrong with their thinkers. So what if it's healthy? It's healthy meat. Why not just call yourself a "healthy eater" and leave it at that?

Yes, its meat. it's muscle so its meat. About the easiest way I can think to put it.

Actually the easiest way would be to say that yes it is meat, because it is meat. If you think otherwise then you are a fucking moron.
 
Not only that, Tallbill, but people often use the word meat to describe the fleshy parts of plants too!
The meat of the coconut anyone?

That's more of an analog than a definition or proper description. People don't consider the "meat" of nuts to be actual meat.
