Fish. "Fish isn't meat so I thought it was okay."

This happens so often in Japan, they'll also avoid marking fish as an allergen warning in food, even though they'll list things like dairy, meat, eggs, and even soy.

I have a running joke with friends where I'll always ask if some food has fish in it (i.e. pick up an apple and say "does this have fish in it?")

That would literally kill me (well, probably actually just sent me to the hospital).

I thought, when I first went vegetarian (vegan now) years ago, that I wouldn't need to specify 'no fish' when I ordered food labeled 'vegetarian'. But Fish sauce or Oyster sauce has sent me to the hospital at least once.

I no don't really eat out ever anymore, as I don't feel like gambling on the 1% cross contamination chart (got several other allergies too), but its crazy to me that food labeled as vegetarian is allowed to have fish sauce in it.
