Prabhupada: There are different kinds of flesh eaters. If anyone eats fish, he eats all kinds of fleshes.Fish, yes. Fish is abominable according to Manu-samhita. Therefore, even you can eat the flesh of cow, but don't eat fish. That is the stricture in the Manu-samhita. Because if you are eating dog's flesh, then you are sinful in the matter of dog's flesh only. But if you eat fish, then you become sinful of eating all kinds of flesh. These are the strictures.
