vegetables fish eat!What foods can Pescetarians eat besides fish and vegetables?

What are some good meals that do not involve anything with meat or vegetables?

I eat veggies,but it gets annoying and tasteless after a while.
I'm sorry that it gets annoying and tasteless after a while. One thing you need to focus on is flavor. Think about all the meals that you aren't getting now. What could you do to pescatarian it up?

Italian: plenty of Italian food is vegetarian-friendly, especially since many of the foods/sauces focus around tomatoes, pasta, and cheese. Try lasagna make with fake meat (I like LightLife Smart Ground). Try making your own marinara (if you need a recipe, let me know).

Chili: make with fake meat. Add extra beans (I use lentils) for a thicker chili. Load it up with flavor.

Sandwiches: make with flavorful hummus instead of mayo/mustard, add sprouts, cucumber, tomatoes, and spinach. I am vegan so I eat it like this, but you can certainly add cheese and fake meat (LightLife makes a turkey and bologna). Adding special sauces, like the hummus, really changes the feel of the sandwich. Try using lavash bread and pita, give a shot to tzatziki sauce (cucumber-yogurt sauce) and add it to avegetables fish eat falafel pita with spinach, tomatoes, and tabouleh.

Asian dishes: noodles, sauce, and veggies are all you need. Many Asian dishes are served with tofu, but you can also do fish, eggs, and fake meat. You can make just about any dish this way. Since you can eat fish, you can make yourself some good udon noodle soup (the stock is made with bonito flakes, which is fish-derived), you can do egg drop soup, fried rice, stir frys, etc..

Casseroles: while you may think "man, that beef really makes it meaty," what you should focus on is richness, flavors, and large chunks of veggies. Try using a can of cream of mushroom soup with a can of broccoli cheese soup (both condensed) with some seasonings as the sauce.

Mexican: a lot of Mexican dishes are very, very fresh and extremely vegan and vegetarian friendly, so I love them. Pair corn or flour tortillas with all kinds of vegetables, cheeses, sour cream, fish (fish tacos are AMAZING), beans, lentils, and rice. Mexican dishes are simply fabulous.

Pies: I'm not talking about dessert, but you can certainly do it. Try changing up the normal pot pies (make them using tvegetables fish eathe casserole rules, above) by serving savory pie fillings that are baked into small pumpkins or an acorn squash sliced lengthwise. Similarly, you can make yourself a stuffed bell pepper or stuffed pabalano pepper.

Remember that herbs, variety, and spices will be your best friends.

Hope this helps!
How can veggies get annoying or tasteless? Try a new veggie each week; there are 100s to choose from! Use fresh chopped herbs; garlic; Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning; REAL butter & Kosher salt. Eat them raw with dip ... roast them (toss with olive oil, garlic & herbs and bake on a roasting pan at 400 for about 20 min) ... BBQ them ... steam them. Try: Winter squash, portobello mushrooms, bok choy, edaname, jicama, parsnips & rutabagas (make them like boiled parsley potatoes or mash them), merlitons, etc..... Make ratatouille, fresh salsa, bean salads......
