Some vegetarians don't eat fish. I am one of them - nothing to do with
being English.  Until recent years, the British Isles were surrounded by
them,++ especially cod, but over-fishing has done untold damage.
There's a strong case for not eating fish on conservation grounds, but
there are problems with the rest of Europe and "rights".  Maybe one day
the English who do eat fish will get the plentiful and inexpensive
supplies we used to have ...

++ Fish, not vegetarians.
