If we consider the health status, according to the specialized literature eating meat in modest amounts does not increase overall mortality.
Fish, would seem to decrease overall mortality.

I, like Steve, don't eat fish or meat.

If we consider a diet for meditation, then it's different but, in my reasoned opinion, in a subtle way.

1) We can reap about 80% of the benefit of meditation and Kriya even eating a little meat. It will not hinder our progress until a certain point.

2) After having reached a certain point of spiritual evolution, then if we want to keep evolving we may need to avoid altogether eating meat and fish.

And, if truth must be honored, for some people, like myself, being vegetarian apparently did not help to meditate better, not even in the first stage. My meditation, regardless of diet, has mostly been crappy, unfortunately.
