Is fish a type of meat?

This is a tricky question, and the answer depends on how you define "meat".

Technically, fish is not considered meat.

* Meat is typically defined as the flesh of mammals.

* Fish is the flesh of aquatic animals with gills and fins.

However, fish is often treated and consumed like meat.

* It's cooked and eaten as a main course.

* It's used in many meat-based dishes.

* It's often categorized alongside meat in grocery stores and restaurants.

So, while fish isn't technically meat, it's often grouped with it for practical purposes.
