Mermaids are kinda weird
Okay, so they hate eating fish. I get that, it makes sense, although it's weird they will still eat it, they just keep making faces and complain about it, but they will eat it (and feel bad afterwards), but what's really weird is their ability to make fishing more effective.
So, you can catch all the fish in the world, in fact you can be the best fisherman ever, but you shouldn't eat any of them. Why? They seem more related to dolphin than fish, so they should love eating fish. Sure, they have scales, but I'm pretty sure that's really just sequin extensions they bought at Hot Topic. I mean, they get excited and start squealing like a dolphin, they are best friends with dolphins, and they refer to the name "Flipper" as "the 'F' word". They are one dorsal fin and two parents living at Sea World away from being a dolphin.
Did you know their hatred of eating fish also includes lobster? Any biologist here wanna take a stab at that one?
Okay, fine, let's say they are fish, then how come they like eating fruit? While I've admittedly never tested attempting to keep a fish alive by offering it fruit, I'm pretty sure the result will end with a chorus of "Oh, Danny Boy" and then the flushing of a toilet.
You know what else they love? Any other meat. Oh, yeah, let's grill up some steaks and don't forget that rack of lamb, because momma made up a whole mess of mint jelly! This characteristic is very important for hunting their most prized prey; the elusive and dangerous seacow.

This is my first occult experience, so maybe it's a running thing like vampires that eat fruit or magicians that are scared of mimes (hey, that pulling-an-imaginary-rope thing they do is freaky), but I'm really not getting the whole no fish diet mermaids seem to insist.
