I was wondering if any one had gone to being a strict veggie to eating fish i know theres a lot of quorn things around and i eat all of them in differant ways but i'm starting to thing it might be good for me to start eating fish again and it would help me have a more varied low carb diet,Also when i'm on my holiday were going to a typical english seaside loads of chippys and not much else and i thought if i added fish i could have the fish and take of the batter,has any one else been a veggie and started to eat fish again,shan x
 
A couple of my veggie friends and relations are quite happy to eat fish when they visit. Lots of beneficial Omega 3 oils and astaxanthin in salmon and prawns for example.
 
Oh yes, I was a strict veggie for 16 years! I served my time and eventually got to thinking that eating fish again wasn't so bad, and probably better for my health than all the carbs I was eating on my veggie diet.
My wife was a long time veggie too,and I still vividly remember the look of betrayal on her face when I ordered the salmon in a restaurant for the first time!
Anyway, the only difficulty I actually found in eating fish again was psychological - I'd convinced myself that it was morally wrong. After the first bite, I changed my mind.
These days, having read a bit of anthropology, I'm convinced it was the right thing to do. Our evolutionary history makes us natural pescetarians. My wife now eats fish too, and loves it.

Thats it Fergus i ate my first fish again and it felt weird but i've had it a couple of times now slowly excepting it,mind over matter at the moment ,what i found was strange was my high readings(12.5 - 9.5) were lower after i ate the fish ,today it was 7.6 which is low for me but i had a light tea with eggs and back up it went 12.2,may be i should be a mermaid :lol: shan x
 
As a vegetarian, I have to say the only question is whether you have been a vegetarian on the grounds of not wanting to eat living creatures. That's the reason I'm a vegetarian, and it means not eating fish. Don't get me wrong - I don't judge others on this: it's a choice I've made for myself. It sounds to me that the very fact you're considering it means you have no real qualms about eating them, so I'd go ahead if I were you.
