Every sensible person, including Saraswats, know that fish are Jolo-Phool, flowers of the water. I don't touch the damn things myself (can't stand the stink) but the reason why 'pure' vegetarian is needed is to filter out frauds like me. I eat vegetarian, except for pork and beef. And that too increasingly rarely as the crannies between my teeth increase in size with the years.
