    Is it not common in most places to differentiate land animals (meat) from sea animals (fish)? I get your point that there’s no real distinction to make philosophically, but it’s customary and most people understand it?

      No? The only times I’ve seen fish treated as somehow not meat is for religious reasons. Generally you’d categorize the meat by the type of animal, such as beef, pork, chicken/poultry, or the broad categories like fish or shellfish.

      Maybe it just depends on if you live someplace that’s very religious or not?

        I think going to the restaurant located inside my local church was a mistake

        I’ve definitely seen and heard the phrase “meat or fish” used where I live. I doubt it’s just a Finnish thing
