eh, it's a pretty big blender, and he's damn small. besides, he's just a fish.

You sort of have to make up your own rules with that stuff (to an extent). I wouldn't eat what I couldn't kill myself, and I could probably kill a shrimpy. Plus it doesn't seem as wasteful to me, as you're eating most the whole thing at once, and not just a part of it. In other countries (I believe Vietnam is one) they don't consider fish when they consider vegetarianism.
I really only like shrimp if it's scampi or in alfredo (which isn't all that healthy). I've had it raw a few times, but if I eat too much I'll get a stomach ache.

In the end, I guess I'm sort of a pescetarian, but I don't like to get too technical with things.

Catholics also don't consider fish meat when they give up meat for lent.

But what do they know.

yeah but fish is only consumed on a friday!

angella makesa fair point but really vegetarians dont eat any living animal be it a cow, pig, fish, horse or whatever. the catholic thing is just a traditional thing and very few catholics, me included, give up red meat for lent anymore. also eating raw shrimp is kinda dangerous isnt it?
