White meat generally refers to fish, shrimp, shellfish, chicken, duck, plant meat, etc. White meat is a nutritional term, which broadly refers to meat with fine muscle fibers, lower fat content, and higher unsaturated fatty acid content in fat. White meat can include birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, crustaceans or bivalves, among others.
