Semi-vegetarianism
diet that is plant-based with the occasional inclusion of meat
Semi-vegetarianism means eating seafood or poultry, or both, but no red meat. People who eat red meat on rare occasion are flexitarians. Real or semi-vegetarians, though, usually resent flexitarian, looking down on this term and calling it cheating.[1]

Pollo-pescetarians eat seafood, shrimp and poultry but no red meat.
