Okay, penguins primarily eat fish. By definition, fish are a type of meat. Ergo, this makes Penguins carnivores. This also can make them predators as they hunt for fish (meat) like other predators do. However, they are also hunted by leopard seals, which makes them prey.
Which are penguins, then; predator or prey?

Both. To fish, they are predators. To seals, they are prey. That's how the food chain works. Easy.
