What is the meaning of pescatarian?

Hello-The word pescatarian comes from the Italian or Spanish word, pesca, which means fish. The rest of the word, tarian, probably came from the word vegetarian.
A pescatarian is a person who does not eat land animals and birds, but includes fish, mollusks, and crustaceans in addition to fruits and vegetables.
I think I could become a pescatarian as I love seafood and fish.
Thanks for asking-
Ms. Wheeler
