There are a number of options for meal preferences on the BA exec club profile page but not one for "no fish".
Does anyone know of a way to express this preference?

Thanks in advance
You can't. You have to book one of the vegetarian options or take the risk.

- If flying F or CW you are sure to have some non-fish mains available and there will be one non-fish starter although this may be over-subscribed;

- if you fly WT+ or WT you are sure to have some non-fish alternatives on the menu and can guarantee a choice by seating at the front of a section;

- if flying CE, there will usually (not always) be a non-fish alternative and you can guarantee a choice by seating at the front of the cabin;

- if flying ET bands 1, 2, or 3 you will get either dry snacks or wraps, salads, or flatbreads (depending on LHR, LCY, or LGW) with fish most unlikely and always a vegetarian alternative (except for dry snacks which are vegetarian anyway).
