Pescatarian in the winter/spring, but omnivore in the summer/fall.
I try my best to avoid eating meat that is not free-range organic. I have issues with the way animals are raised on regular factory-style farms. I prefer to eat an animal that wasn't tortured or made to suffer during it's life just so that I can have it at a good price. I don't mind paying extra to know that it was treated with respect while it lived.
A pescatarian does not eat meat or poultry but will eat fish, I believe. It can be seen as a sort of "half way house" between vegetarianism and omnivorousness.
I eat it two to three times a week and not all fish grow up in the ocean with the mercury. I eat a lot of trout. I get most of my animal protein from eggs and dairy.
I'm not strict about any of this; it's more of an approximation of my habits, which seem to be consistent in this way.
I freeze it all. I'm just more into meat in the summer. It's expensive, so I limit myself to half the year. I don't abstain though. In fact, I found a last organic hen in the freezer that I'd missed from the fall. I'll have my friends over soon and roast it up for dinner.
What are your guy's dietary lifestyle?

This is the first time I've heard of it.

Pescatarians only eat seafood as meat.

Interesting. But it makes me wonder if they have a higher risk for mercury poisoning?

I go to a specialty butcher and stock up on free-range pig, chicken, turkey, bison, and beef. It comes from a farm about twenty miles away.
I also eat lake trout, salmon, clams, and scallops.
Why do you ask?

I was just wondering because your timing/seasons seems 'backwards', if you know what I mean (??).

We do ice-fish in the winter.
