Can anyone please tell me if it's ok to eat fish every day ? I eat smoke cod loin ,but would eat any other fish if it was for the good of my health , problem is I don't like many veg ,only carrot , garden peas and beans (all canned)
Some days I have chicken or sirloin steak with small quantity of potato ,I am finding it difficult to get a meal sorted out that I am sure will do me more good than bad ,also eating fruit , ( apples , Mellon kiwi ) prepacked from tesco . any advice on my present diet appreciated as I am scared to eat anything I'm not sure about until 31th of this month when I see my nurse again
Regards James
 
Fish is good, James, particularly the oily ones....... I'd try & get wild caught if possible.

Do you think it's ok to have daily , as i love the stuff
 
I can't see any problem..... I don't eat much fish but my wife brought home a nice salmon fillet from Costco so we will be dining on that all week.
 
Appreciate your time and advice Martin , hope you and your family have a pleasant evening
 
We love fish as well and have it 3x a week. 1 thing to note is that fresh and frozen tuna steaks are good, but they strip all that goodness out in the tinned variety.

must try the tuna steaks
When we were in Hawaii a couple of years ago we fell in love with "Poke", tuna cut into small bite size pieces eaten raw in a soy based marinade..... The variations can be endless & easy to make at home.
 
Love salmon, herring, soused mackerel, fresh tuna, cod, haddock, hake, rollmops, i love prawn and langoustine, and most tinned fish.

Can't do squid or octopus. Or skate though - smells horrible.

Oh oily fish! Dear oily fish!
By far and away my favourite dish!
Infuse me with your Omega 3,
Please oily fish, come dine with me!

Oh, take away my chicken bhuna!
Replace it with a slab of tuna!
And though I love the taste of gammon,
I'd much prefer some Scottish salmon!

Imagine eating with every course
Some pilchards in tomato sauce!
If every herring could be mine,
Then life on Earth would be divine!

So, fill me up with oily fish!
Believe me, it’s my dearest wish!
My heart’s desire, where have you been?
Embrace me now, oh plump sardine! :D

Not sure about eating it EVERY day, I'd think that balancing it out with some non-fish days would be better, but I'm no dietician 🙂 I usually go for sardines on toast for lunch a couple of times a week 🙂
 
Besides fresh caught by yourself, I have found raiding Morrisons fresh fish counter is productive as they have loads of offers each week and anything that is within a day of the use by date is half price. My freezer is well stocked and according to inside info in the not to distant future salmon will be offered again which they will fillet for you all you do is ask. 🙂
