    Though that would be a fish-only-eater of course.

    I dont really ea that much pasta. Apart from fruit and veg, its mostly nuts, lentils, grains and pulses. And a few dairy products to keep me alive.

    A piscivore eats fish. It's not a term usually used for humans, funnily enough.

    No when used for humans, it includes everything 'up to' fish. But not meat.

    "peschtarian" - though really there is no proper word. peschtarian is just a slang word.

    I've always heard it as 'pescatarian'. There are a few different spellings (but all deriving from Latin word for fish). I've always found it a bit misleading, as if it suggests that your diet mainly consists of fish, like you're a penguin or something. Maybe that's just me.

    You could try the rather more poncey 'pesco-vegetarian'
