fish-eating man
Eu não sei como resolver o termo acima. Literalmente seria "comedor de peixe" ou "homem que come muito peixe", mas não acho que seja adequado e penso que talvez exista algo melhor. Contexto:
"There is of course no refrigerator, which is dismaying to a fish-eating man."
Obrigada,
Christina.

Will Matter
: "Fish-eating man" is the same as "A man who eats fish" so you are 100% correct.

comedor de peixe
Rio Grande do Sul não é terra de peixe; o gaúcho não é comedor de peixe. Mas Portugal tem todo este mar e o peixe quase salta para as nossas mãos.

Talvez o contexto em que aparece "o peixe", neste caso, peça algo como: os que comem carne branca (em oposição aos que comem carne vermelha) ou comedores de animais de sangue frio. Poderia ser algo assim?
