.....you don't have to eat fish!!!.....i weigh less than 6 n half stone!.....and i dont eat it!....


portion control is your key to all this....use a small plate and dont go back for seconds!..

no.....not if you dont like it.....or what if you are allergic to it??.....you can get the same nutrients that are in fish from other places!
 
Well worth having fish as a major part of your diet, ColJack, especially things like sardines, mackerel and anchovies, as they are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. In rare instance too much O-3 can result in internal bleeding, so it might be worth playing safe and asking the doc, if you are unsure. That said here is a good quick recipe:

4 ounces (112g) pasta
4 ounces (112g) small (Spanish or Italian} tomatoes
1 tin of sardines (try one of the good makes from Waitrose like Sardine al Limone but avoid the bog standard dreck)

Start boiling the pasta – should take about ten minutes. Cut the tomatoes in half and bung into a frying pan or skillet with the sardines (ensure that the tomatoes are skin-side up and covered in the oil from the sardines). Shove under grill until done, this should take about 8 or 9 minutes.Plonk past on plate. Plonk sardines and tomatoes on pasta. ;)

Forget the fish dinner if you want to diet....go straight for the pudding :)
 
FWIW, the fish is for health reasons for the oils and such.. not a specific part of the "diet" but more for a healthy all round thing..
I suppose there's always tablets, but It's also for a bit of variety...
chicken, taters, cabbage, leeks, cauliflower and carrots gets boring after a few days..

steak's too expensive, lamb is too greasy for me, and pork is no fun if you have to trim all the fat off..

I'm trying to find a replacement food instead of fish for the same health benefits, do you know or anyone?
 
Thanks, I do most of them but mosty blueberries, maybe I'm too healthy :LOL:
 
Here's one of my favourite tricks with mackerel - get either boneless fillets (normally comes as 4 fillets per fish) or bone in fillets and remove the bones that run down the centre of the fillet. You can remove the bones either with some needlenose pliers/tweezers or by gutting carefully down either side of the bones leaving you with the aforementioned 4 fillets per fish.

Roll the fish in seasoned flour, dip in beaten egg then roll in polenta/cornmeal - place fish on a lightly oiled baking sheet and brush/spray with a bit of veg oil - whack into a 200 degree oven for about 10 minutes.

Oily fish tend to go well with intensely coloured veg (dark green brassicas, beetroot etc.) - my personal fav is T*sco frozen leaf spinach (it doesn't dissolve into nothing like most frozen spinach) - just whack in the microwave for a few mins - squeaze out excess water in a colander then season well with nutmeg, black pepper and a nob of butter.

Another good accompanyment is french beans - lightly cooked, with halved cherry tomatoes with an olive oil vinaigrette - you can have this either hot (warm the toms through in the olive oil in a pan, add dash of vinegar etc. and add the beans) or cold (refresh the beans in ice cold water).
 
He makes a lot of spoonfulls though. ;)
