Nobody that calls themselves a vegetarian should eat fish. Some do, but the main consensus in the vegetarian community is that there's no such thing as semi-vegetarian (either you're a vegetarian - no animal flesh - or you're not).

That said, do what you want. You want to cut out land animals? Just eat fish. There are plenty of people out there who swear off poultry/red meat and still eat fish. Most just don't attach a label to their eating habits. If someone asks, just be like "I really don't eat much meat at all, but I'll have fish on occasion."

I'm not well versed in the macrobiotic lifestyle, but I do know that most macrobiotics don't eat any meat except fish. Maybe that's something you'd want to look into? It did seem a little extreme when I looked into it but it might be something to try if you still want to get a little animal protein from seafood.

ETA: I lied. There's totally a label for fish-only eating habits. I found out it's called pescetarianism. LOL, if you think being a vegetarian is confusing, try explaining pescetarianism to curious passerby.
