Probably does not help the vegetarian original poster since fish is not a vegetable. Fish itself tends to be a complete enough protein, whether or not eaten with rice (do you prefer sushi or sashimi?
)
But vegetarians typically get complete proteins through typical vegetarian foods like legumes + grains, nuts + grains, legumes + nuts, etc.. Vegetarians with high protein requirements relative to their calorie requirements (certain strength athletes and body builders, for example) may have to make an extra effort to get higher protein intake.
