How much fish do you eat a week?

[Melinda]

Im eating pork now!

Washing it down with a white russian!

 

[idioteque]

I eat fish as often as I can get my greedy hands on it.

 

[geminisnake]

Well admittedly, living in Thorpe Bay/Southend isn't as bad as living in Leigh with its cockle sheds and probably not as bad as Redcar

Ha!! Try Arbroath and being down the harbour and the 'wonderful' smells of smokies

 

[WouldBe]

and it's recommended that you (as a man) eat FOUR portions of oily fish per week

Which seems daft considering dwindling fish stocks.

1 portion of fish a week currently colley. Would prefer oily fish though.

Can't vote as no appropriate option.

If I put up every possible option, then there'd be 20 of 'em

hm, I'm already late for work every day.

What about trout. Is that expensive? I tasted trout once and it seemed ok

In the supermarkets its about a fiver a kilo gutted.

Brown trout are more expensive, but you'll probably only find them in Waitrose, fwiw, its much easier to farm browns organically cos they will tolerate mixed-sex production.

I prefer brown trout meself.

I'm sure 4 is too high - if you eat too much, don't you risk exposure to toxins such as mercury from bottom feeding fish?

 

[rennie]

I eat fish all the time.

 

[CharlieAddict]

i eat one to two cans of tuna (with red kidney beans) everyday.

and if i'm training for strength - i eat two to four salmon fillets on top.

fish rocks!!!!!!!

FSA recommends 560g of oily fish per week for a grown man or woman (who aren't pregnant or trying to get pregnant)

 

[Badgers]

I only eat tuna
About once a week

 

[Geri]

Four times a week.

A tin of salmon and a tin of tuna for sandwiches at work, battered cod (normally on a Monday) and usually a prawn tagliatelle one other night.

 

[tarannau]

Not enough really. Probably just about once a week. Not helped by the fact that I find canned tuna pretty repulsive in the main - a couple of exceptions (Ortiz Albacoe for example), but both that and canned salmon are horrible in comparison to the real fresh fish example.

I'm not organised enough to use frozen fish on a regular basis and fishmongers tend to shut earlier than I get home from work, plus they tend to be pretty expensive around me. Going to try and get a little prepared and cook more fish if I can. It seems more daunting for some reason (unfamiliarity?) but cooking fish is generally pretty simple and quick.

I'm bloody rubbish at fish - hardly eat any of it and it's not because I don't like it - it's more because I'm just not that experienced with cooking it and so most of my recent attempts have been a bit meh and therefore it never leaps into my mind to make a fish dish....I just don't know what to do with it (although I can easily find out I know!). I've also got a deep distrust of frozen fish although people keep telling me it's fine....it's my Grimsby roots you see! Frozen fish was just wrong where I grew up.

I've got a good baked salmon dish up my sleave but the Mr doesn't like salmon so it only ever gets made for me. I eat tins of tuna for lunch fairly regularly but that's about it. I find tinned sardines and the like pretty gross. I'll have the occasional kipper at the weekend but that's about once a year if I'm honest. A few prawns here and there....



ETA:
Moon mentioned the Chinese Supermarket in Brixton - do you mean Wing Thai? Perhaps I'll give them a try - the stall stinks to high heaven though - as do most of the Brixton Market fish stalls (except the one on Atlantic Road) so I've always steared clear. Fish should not smell - if it smells - it's off!

 

[The39thStep]

Three tins of oily fish a week, fresh fish twice a week

 

[Thimble Queen]

I eat lots of peppered mackrel it's yummy in sandwiches but the smell takes lots of washing to come off
I also like making my own tuna and lime burgers and prawn fried rice with lots of lovely vegetables.
My new fish dish that I love to cook is salmon in white wine with red onion and peppers.

I could give up all other animal flavours except the little fishyfish, he makes my tummy smile

I just sprinkle chilli flakes over any fish I don't like so as to disguise the taste
