None of us, at Is Fish Meat, are biology majors but we have a general understanding about the body and what makes the various muscles, organs, and tissues. Most meat would be classified in the muscle category of the body, so we will focus mainly on the muscles aspect.
We will try to not get too simplistic with our approach, but when assessing the question in this manner, it is hard not to. Think of the pieces of meat that are consumed, and don't discriminate with which animals you choose. Chicken Wings, Pork Shoulder, Beef Steaks, Turkey Thighs, and Fish Filets all have some things in common. They were all used to move the animal in some fashion, and these pieces of meat are also considered muscles. Some of these are considered red meat, such as the Beef Steaks, and others are considered white meat, such as fish filets and chicken wings.
But they are all essentially the same things, muscles made of protein that come from animals. From a biological perspective, fish are just as much meat as cow, chicken, turkey, and deer are. We also stumbled upon a great little article where the author uses this perspective to argue his point. It is a short read but it is interesting to see the comments as well. Many of the comments are addressed, in one way or another, by some of our explanations on this site. Click for the "Is Fish Meat" article we found.
