Well in cooking terms we never talk about "meat fish" but we talk about the fish's flesh. Meat is flesh but not all flesh is meat I think
Is fish a meat?

I consider fish to be meat. It's a different kind of meat than say, cow or pig, but meat all the same because it still comes from an animal. That's just me though. I know there are people that abstain from land animal meat and only eat fish.

White meat!? yes...!
It depends on how you look at it, I guess it just comes down to personal beliefs. If you look at it from the definition then fish can be seen as a meat, but if you look at it from a religious viewpoint it can be considered not a meat
Pretty much just everyone's own opinion when it comes down to it!

I think so.
But I put Fish in it's own category.....like everybody else does.

Wrong.
A fish is obviously an instrument.
Case closed.
JK. But in seriousness, I've always considered fish to be meat.

In France snails are categorized as 'inland fish'.

To me, yes. But there are different definitions which exclude fish. Culinary speaking fish is very different. It's not like other meat because land animals and sea animals have different structures. So it totally depends on the person and how they define it.

Wait - vegetarians do not eat no meat just because it's meat but because it's flesh and it comes from a living being! Same with fish!
Meat = flesh
Fish = flesh
This does not mean that fish = meat! Or flesh = meat!
Seriously? I don't even understand why so many people think of fish as meat, it's so obvious that it's not to me ?_o If fish was meat, then it would be obvious and we wouldn't even need to ask ourselves this question.

I went during primary school to a Christian school, and hence I find it weird to call meat fish's flesh. I don't know, it doesn't sound right. It's also how everybody says it in France. We all call it fish, not meat. I've never heard once someone called Fish "meat". Maybe in other countries, but not in France.
When I think "I want to eat some juicy meat", I think of pig, cow, chicken etc. but not Fish.
If I want some fish I just say fish.
I don't know. It's just how I was raised xD

Yeah exactly my thinking

So... that means food industry > biology. I can't help myself but to smile.
It's one of those topics which no one ever wins, cause there is no right answer for that. Obviously it's a meat, but it's a very different kind of meat (it looks, it's taste), so it's safe/fine to put 'fish' into separate category. Same with tomato... it's a berry, so it's a fruit, but judging by taste it fits more into vegetable category. Tomato is a vegetable and fruit at the same time. So yeah, fish is a fish, but saying you're wrong, because you say it's meat, it's like ???. I suggest just to drop topic with your family. I belive both 'yes' and 'no' is correct answer. Since I had to choose one I voted for 'yes'.

It's not a matter or beliefs here but truth, I'm French and I don't know where you saw that snails are considered inland fish?? And just because you put salt on your tomatoes doesn't mean that they're vegetables. It's like saying eggs are meat, fish is not meat, you may still believe it, the same way you have the right to believe that 2 plus 2 doesn't equal 4, but you'll remain wrong.

You can find that information on your own. "Just because tomato is a fruit doesn't mean you can buy tomato yogurt" . I never said eggs are meat - Don't get too excited.
