That's the trick. There's no industry standard definition. You have vegetarians who eat no meat (but that would not include meat source products like stocks or fish oils). You have vegetarians who do indeed eat fish. You have vegans who will try to avoid anything to do with animals period.
As such, Delta's vegetarian meal selection may well be considered vegetarian under some of the many definitions of the lifestyle.
