Dog are carnivores - their dentition and digestive systems are designed as carnivores. I too am a pescatarian - but I made that choice for myself. I feel the best choice for my dogs is for them to eat what they're best designed to eat.

That said, if a diet is properly balanced - amino acids can be found elsewhere, so dogs can live very healthily on non-meat diets as well, and sometimes they must due to certain disease states.
