Some cultures and some people think fish and shrimps are vegetarian, like some Asian countries. It's strange, considering East Asian countries are influenced by Buddhism you'd think they at least have some notion of what vegetarianism is about. Vegetarianism simply means not eating animals.
And not just there, across the world you have those that separate fish from other animals. I don't know how even the chickens ended up on a vegetarian menu...
What may be happening here is there's a strange notion of what 'animals' are. If you check some commentaries on scripture it's not uncommon to see guru's and people mentioning ''the beasts of the world, the insects, the animals, tiger, and the birds'' - or similar sentences. But these are all animals, so it's quite illogical to talk in such a way..
