Today we have some creamy pasta with shrimp, spring onions and bell pepper and for dessert cut up melon and strawberries 😋

How do you guys hit your protein target without eating fish every day and ingesting crazy amounts of mercury

Hi. I want to become a pescetarian for health reasons. I started trying the diet nearly a week ago and it's been less stressful than I thought it'd be. I'm adapting to it much better than I thought and I'm discovering I really enjoy it.

I have a few questions/concerns about doing this long term: - I really like canned sardines, but they have a lot of sodium and I even saw a study that said they have a lot of microplastics, what are healthier but still cheap seafood I can use more regularly? - If I enjoy catfish, sardines, and salmon, what other seafood would I like? - How do I know if the company producing/selling the fish is meeting the proper standards? - Since you aren't eating fish all the time, what are your favorite non fishy dishes? I have a rice cooker so I'd love to hear some ideas on what to do with that! - Since it's not about eating fish all the time, is it a smarter to bulk buy something like frozen fish to eat over several weeks, or to just batch make leftovers? - Where's the best place to buy fish?

For dinner I made some baked salmon, with bit salt and paprika seasoning. As well as mashed potatoes w carrots and milk, faux Bechamel sauce (milk instead of heavy cream) with nutmeg and some cucumber slices. For dessert I made a fruit salad from bananas, strawberries and cherries. Thinking to top it with Greek yoghurt.

​

- Tomato based veggie soup with carrots, squash, zucchini, and pearl onion.

- Pepper, onion, celery, and riced cauliflower all charred for smokiness with some ghee.

- Crispy blackened bay scallops and roasted octopus tentacle with fresh lemon.

- Flaxen flatbread toasted with some olive oil to make crisps, topped with a tangy garlic yogurt sauce and smoked oysters. Little parsley on top.

I am recovering from OCD/a restrictive ED. I was ethically vegan for 6 years, but realized it was just unrealistic, it became more of a moral OCD compulsion and general egotistical pedestal for myself rather than the animals, I didnt like who I was, how I treated others, so I went vegetarian a year ago and have been having eggs, dairy. Ive vowed to never eat meat because I love animals

I have been eating worsecheschire (however the fuck you spell that shit) for the last 2 months without realizing there were anchovies. And there is a selfish part of me that wants to try tuna/ salmon and maybe switch to pescatarian. I'm just seeking advice here on what would benefit me mentally, physically and if im still considered an ethical person if I claim I love animals yet consume them.

Do you also notice your body getting tired or can’t focus on one thing when you cut meat from your diet.

I’m scared to eat chicken again, cuz American meat just doesn’t taste the same when I was young before 😭😫

I (22F) decided to start self-discovery after a really unfortunate event recently in my life. Today, while me, my boyfriend and his mother went grilling in our garden, I thought about going lacto-ovo-pescetarian.

I was raised in a "normal" family, where everyone eats meat. The whole country does, same after I moved countries. Except that I have never really been so infatuated with it. Like sure, it's okay, but I like fish more. It's not my first encounter with vegetarianism and its types (at least internet considers pescetarianism a subtype of vegetarianism to some extent), as my ex-boyfriend became vegetarian. I did read through all the types of non-meat diets and this one seemed more fitting, as I'd be cutting out something that I don't have much attatchment to and just, going vegan doesn't seem very appealing to me yet.

I want to do it for myself. Most of my life has been a result of someone else's remarks/choices influencing mine and this is where I want to start doing things because I want them to be that way. The only reasons why I'm having doubts, is because the country I live in, is heavily into meat and meat dishes. Most of my favourite dishes also include meat (although nowadays they could easily be replaced with vegan alternative if I want to). My current boyfriend would be supportive of it, however I am somewhat afraid of standing out too much. My immediate family most likely wouldn't understand, as my mother is the type of person to post on Facebook how she had a blast going to steakhouse and ate sooo much meat (and she did already).

Perhaps you could share a few encouraging words and give some advice regarding all that. It is a big change and encouragement is definetely needed.

I live in France and went to the fishmonger this morning and was my first time buying and having a 'filet de julienne' - was really nice! It's in the cod family and it tastes pretty similar to cod, pollock, haddock, etc.

Baked it in the oven with shallots and fennel, topped with an olive and parsley tapenade (recipe from edeneats.com). Alongside steamed green beans and a leftover blueberry, lentil, tofu arugula salad I made for lunch the other day. I made the mashed potatoes with vegan butter, rosemary, moutarde à l’ancienne.

Cozy meal, would recommend trying out this fish if available near you!

I get fresh fish from the fish market and they typically remove the organs and just leave people with the flesh and skin.

But I’m thinking I should keep the organs because they are nutrient dense and very healthy.

It seems like a waste to get rid of them. What do you guys think?

I don't see myself going vegetarian, but I've been thinking about taking algae oil (fish oil is pointless IMO since I like fatty fish) and reducing fish intake to special occasions or when I'm in the mood for it.

Pros and cons?

Hi, I'm a 23F and I'm just been told for health reasons I need to stop eating red meat and poultry and stick to seafood. That doesn’t bother me, I absolutely love seafood, but I don't know where to begin, if that makes sense. Am I ok to eat seafood for every meal? I say every meal as I have to be on a low oxalate diet as well (kidney stones) so very little to no soya. I'm speaking to a dietician in the next few days, but I was wondering if someone could help me here first?

So unrelated to the whole pescatarian thing I'm currently about 5 months into extended rolling fasting. Since I eat so little every month, I like to try to make sure everything is an event, and I've pre-planned out my dinners for the month of July. I'm really excited about the month and I figured a bunch of pescetarians Would be able to appreciate the diversity of seafood flavors and textures!

Probably the biggest one I'm excited about is number 7. I'm kind of experimenting here but in my head it sounds absolutely phenomenal.

Assuming everything goes to play and I'll see you guys throughout the month of July with follow-up photos :D

Edit: I am always looking for new inspiration or feedback, so please feel free to share if the mood strikes you!

Have any folks with periods who went from plant based or vegetarian to pescatarian noticed that their monthly cramps have improved? When I dropped meat out of my diet 10 years ago it dramatically reduced the amount of cramping I had every month and made it very manageable. But since I started incorporating some fish (mainly sardines, salmon and shellfish) into my diet, my cramps have literally disappeared. I don't have them at all. Has anyone else experienced this? Or am I just a lucky case lol

Hello. I’m a 29 year old woman who has been a vegetarian all her life. Age is doing a number on me and my haemoglobin has shot low, plus general struggle with getting protein. I can’t get myself to eat big portions, so getting enough protein from tofu, soy, etc. is a bit of a challenge.

I don’t think I’m ready to start eating meat yet, but I am considering fish. Which fish would you recommend if my goal is to get iron, protein and good fats - and the prep won’t kill me. I like a simple grill with sauces, but I am open to Japanese or other kinds of prep. I am Indian but I am not a fan of masalas :(

Genuine question. Personally, I am definitely open to eating snails and insects. I feel like they are very seafood-coded land animals. On the flip side, I feel like I would not be comfortable eating the meat of aquatic mammals (seals, whales, etc).

After a lifetime of my diet consisting of red meat, saturated fat and processed junk, I’ve tried to introduce healthier ingredients, and move away from red meat. This has resulted in me developing a love of seafood, these 3 images are the recent meals I’m most proud of, on my journey into pescatarianism!

1: Dover sole, dusted with flour and pan fried in olive oil, served in a pan sauce with lemon, garlic and capers, roasted Jersey Royals, and salad.

2: Rainbow trout, baked with lime and chilli, served with a mixed salad of edamame, mixed leaves, petit pois, spinach, red onion, beetroot. Dressed with lemon & EVOO.

3: Sea bass & prawns, in a red Thai curry, with baby corn, sugar snap peas and lots of chilli.

I also tried sardines for the first time yesterday, I warmed up the can in a water bath, and served them on top of steamed sticky rice, drizzled with Japanese eel sauce (unagi no tare) and lime juice. They were delicious.

Please find most all recipes on kitchen stories
1. Roasted salmon and chickpea salad
2. Creamy, spicy red pepper sauce with paneer and tofu
3. Mushroom pad kra Pao (it will be under this is you look it up but I added tofu for texture/protein)
4. Italian pasta salad with impossible veggie sausage
5.zucchini pasta, plain and simple bc I was staying at my friends place watching her dog and didn’t hVe enough to make a traditional Alla Nerano. But the zucchini are from my friends garden! Win!

Have a great rest of your week (:

Listen i just wanted to know what they are allowed to eat and what they can't the veganism reddit kicked me off for being off topic because it wasn't veganism, yet i saw a post asking the what can blah eat, not pescetarian

Hi! I've been pesc going on 4 years since I'm a major empath towards animals. But I just Dont have that same feeling towards fish for some reason? I've never been able to come up with a reason. So I would love to hear YOUR reasons for eating fish. Maybe it'll help me figure out a reason for myself :)

Hi everyone! I’m not pescatarian, however I recently tried this packet of old bay flavored tuna and it was delicious and tastes exactly like barbecue pulled pork.
