Aren't fava beans and chickpeas available there? Those are a good source of vegetable protein, alongside soybeans. But I wouldn't really incentive you to go vegan or enforce your kids to do so.
About the "pescatarian" deal: maybe I could eventually do so, I see no problem doing that. Kidney beans are a good source of iron, so maybe the absence of red meat wouldn't bother me so much.
