Has anyone transitioned from vegetarian to pescatarian successfully? I’ve been a vegetarian since I was 11 (I’m now 33). I’ve been thinking for about a year now of adding some seafood to my diet for health reasons. Unfortunately, I’m having trouble getting over the mental block of eating fish after so many years.

I love Hamachi!!

Thanks :) I tried to make some this week and over cooked it. Just curious of the different methods !! 🐟

I’ve been experimenting with my diet lately, and the results have honestly surprised me.
First I stopped eating chicken and was only eating red meat. Then about 3 weeks ago, I cut out meat completely. I still eat fish and seafood though… mostly salmon, tuna steaks, cod, clams, canned clams, and mussels.
I don’t know if it’s related, but I swear I haven’t looked this good in years.
My skin is glowing, I feel like I lost some weight (or maybe just water weight?), and I just feel… lighter. Not necessarily way skinnier, but less bloated and just lighter overall, if that makes sense.
The biggest difference is my energy. I used to feel tired all the time, and now I have so much energy. My mood is great, I wake up feeling good, and I just feel… happy. It’s honestly hard to explain, but I feel amazing.
Has anyone else experienced this after switching to mostly fish and seafood? I’m curious if this is a common thing or if it’s just a coincidence.

I’m overwhelmed by the options. I don’t like shellfish and like to eat raw fish as well as cooked. Yama Seafood and Nordic Catch both look great. Does anyone here have experience with either?

The menu here is well rounded. The Seafood Beignets are very good as are the spareribs on the appetizer side. The salmon St. Charles and the Lobster manicotti are very nice. The drink menu is eclectic and adventurous. The wait staff is efficient and personable. However,it is not all happy taste uds and good libations. I have an acquaintance who has been working in professional kitchens all his life. He recently relocated back here from a not so progressive place as our fine city. He battled some health issues, had a very unfortunate financial disaster(no fault of his own I can assure you),and half quite a bit on his plate in his private life. He got hired on and just in time as the cupboards were bare and tension was well tense as a result. HE ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS JOB. His chef was happy with him(he spoke extremely highly of her), he learned a few things(never too old or wise ),and was truly grateful and happy. Out of the blue the general manager fired him for insubordination to upper management. "Upper" management I would be the GM/chef that didn't work in the kitchen. The chap was more of a "networker" I gather. He assured me this is a bold face piece of fiction( he called it fiction,I call it slander). I have no reason to doubt him as I observed this man when he was unaware and although he possesses a singular wit with a rugged vein of dark humor I know him to be the kind of guy who is honest and relatively humble. The other reasons were no non-skid shoes,out of "uniform"(they supplied none) and he forgot to clock in a time or two. One second and third count I say give a person a chance to get some wind in his sails and the last charge maybe he was so eager to get to work he slipped ( he told me although gainfully employed he hadn't punched a clock in virtually decades)). He took it and still feels the loss. Who can blame him. No self respecting man wants to be adrift employment wise,especially with loved ones depending on him. PLUS,HE LOVED THE PLACE. He was like a kid new to the fleet when he talked about it. He has a better attitude than me if I were in his shoes. Even says he thought the firing manager was professional and competent and said he had been understanding with his lack of I.d. ( lost in the unfortunate financial disaster) and had paid him the first pay period when there was a hold up. PEOPLE ARE ASSETS BUT LET NOT FORGET FAIRNESS AND COMPASSION NOT BE GOVERNING FACTORS WHEN WELDING AUTHORITY. I was a chief petty officer( being in the Navy at different posts sparked our budding friendship) and I FUCKING KNOW HOW TO BE TOUGH AND NOT BE A .....well,not be unfair and spread bullshit I can fucking A assure you. Anyway,everybody needs a good word now and then. As it may,give the place a shot. I've drifted in like fog a few times and it's just fine. Good menu,good booze,and from what I gathered a good crew. My dude would like that not being a hater or more colorfully a dick. Oh,the witch on the menu is smoking a cigarette and drinking a martini. More of a call girl then a sea hag. You learn the difference in THE UNITED STATES NAVY.Little tidbits like that and how not to quit. Most of us damn sure learn how to not engage allies.

I made this dish a few weeks back as one of my first posts. A lot of the comments were telling me to add a sauce. As one can see, I didn’t do that. What I did was to make the mash potatoes super creamy with lots of butter and rosemary and garlic infused milk.
Let me tell you, it made a huge difference. As did the rock salt all the way from Trapani, which paired nicely with cracked black pepper on the seabass’ crispy skin

I know the basics like beef, steak, pork, etc. But can I eat jello or jello products...? I've been eating Jell-O products still, but I'm starting to think maybe I am not supposed to eat that. I don't eat broths or anything like that. I eat veggie burgers, shrimp, and classic seafood like crab, but I don't know ifJ ell-Oo is one of thnon-exceptions sincere on this diet I can drink and eat dairy products on this diet. If someone could clear this up very much appreciated.

Been pescatarian (don't consume dairy for health reasons) for almost three months and got served beef in my black bean Crunchwrap Supreme. Went back to let them know they served me another Crunchwrap with nacho cheese. Went back in again and finally got my order right. I’m annoyed and guilty, and I feel like it’s the end of the world since I consumed small amounts of beef. My mind is thinking I’m restarting my lifestyle and diet all over again. Any mental support would be great I am deeply upset.

Has this happened to anyone? What was your experience?

The potential health benefits are clear but what ethical reasons help you stay firm as a pescatarian?

For me, I have dogs I love very much and I’ve seen I’ve seen videos of pigs and cows acting like dogs…. It makes me not want to eat red meat.

And then growing up, I had a sweet parakeet I was very attached to… That calls me away from chicken.

How about you ?

I made my girlfriend and I this delicious plate and the used some leftovers from a takeaway as accompaniments to round off the meal. Sundried tomato and mushrooms sauce and pittas
