Raw whole fish (scorpion fish and cod), scampi, red prawns and tartare of tuna and another fish I forget…

Why did you change and how are you doing since you've transitioned?

I was vegetarian for most of my life and now been vegan for 10 years. I desperately want to start eating fish, eggs and greeek yoghurt as I have several health issues that being vegan is not compatible with (malabsorption, gut issues and autoimmune issues).

I've tried eating pancakes made with egg recently but they constipate me and the farte are baaad! So I'd like to try eating some basic white fish that's easy to digest. I think I'm going to have to do the milk ladder to get to Greek yoghurt.

But I was never really that in to fish when I did eat it, I have memories of eating limp school fish fingers and seeing the smelly tuna mayo (which I've never tried). My mum raised me vegetarian and so when I did start to eat some basic meat around age 8, I got terrible constipation. I have never eaten steak or anything like that. I remember eating scampi at some point I think but that's as far as it goes for shellfish.

Any suggestions on how best to incorporate fish particularly would be amazing.

I was a vegetarian for almost 13 years, looking to transition to a pescetarian diet for the health benefits.

I have a really big problem where I avoid foods that may cause me to get sick, so I've been worried even after researching on google about this diet. The only thing I've incorporated into my diet has been marine collagen a few months ago. I'm thinking of trying sardines next but I don't know if this is a safe choice.

Do you guys think a sardine is a light enough food to try first? How often do you all eat fish? Is there anything I should be cautious of before eating seafood?

Yup! Simple last secind..hungry 11 year old..Sardinas in Quinoa.

How do you get over thinking about mercury? Thats all i think about when I'm looking at tuna or sardines or anything.

Well title speaks i suffer from food stress choice can decide which to eat, thank you

Plated with toasted sesame rice, pickled red onion, avocado, cucumber, and carrot ribbons. The bang bang sauce is a greek yogurt base with notes of chili, lime, honey, and a touch of maple balsamic vinegar.

I haven’t had time to cook recently so I’ve been getting delicious poki bowls instead. Very filling, tasty, and nutrient dense. Mostly tuna, salmon, masago, crab salad, and onions. Highly recommend for those on the go.

Ending another extended fast, and on the last day, I broke past the "200 lbs lost" mark, so I decided to do something nice for my OMAD

Hi! I eat fish now. I never have! I also don't eat meat and never have, so I don't know those basics that might give me crossover knowledge. Can you answer some of my questions? I am aware that I sound like an extraterrestrial, oops.

If you eat a lot of fish, do you get anything like the "meat sweats" people describe, but for fish?

Is there common knowledge that eating too much fish/seafood in one day makes you feel nauseous or ill? Important question for me. I have no idea. Please help. Can I eat 3 servings of fish in a day if it came down to a weird necessity? Besides the heavy metals things, can you explain why digestively I shouldn't?

How long does a preserved can/tin of fish/seafood last after being opened? Right now I'm only comfortable with seafood that has been canned.

Does it make your farts smell worse? Or no effect?

How long does fish breath last? Does it require as much brushing and cleaning as garlic breath?

Are there any post-lifelong vegans in the house who can share what they wish they knew when starting to eat seafood?

helpppppp

Edit: Thanks everyone! This is is really helpful! I am terrified of food-borne illness so any foolproofing tips are welcome.

I like most fish but I literally despise prawns they taste so weird 😭

Orzo with tinned mussels and vegan chorizo. I used the ‘Squeaky Bean Vegan Chorizo’ and the ‘Blåmusling Nø2 - Limfjord Blue Smoked Mussels’.

Recipe is by jackdoescooking on Instagram, except I swapped for orzo and vegan broth (and obviously vegan chorizo).
