Most commercially produced eggs are unfertilized. Never would become meat. This is why some vegetarians are okay with them. Others will say no because of how the hens are treated, especially at the large factory farms.
Those who allow dairy and eggs are called lacto-ovo vegetarians, which I, for the most part, consider myself to be. I do admit that I eat meat one to four times a month, so some would consider me a part-time vegetarian.
Eating fish is important to me for the health benefits of fatty fish (omega-3s).
