What kind of fish do you eat?
trying hard to improve my diet cant face salads have given up on crisps soft drinks choc cakes ect drinking only water and tea
Haddock (makes the best fish in batter - well, in my opinion), cod (I buy frozen filets and fry them with a 'small amount' of butter 
- very healthy), sardines (tinned). Dover sole when I can get it, and I'd like some plaice but can't find it 'any place' here. Occasionally lemon sole, but it's a bit sad really (again in my opinion). Not a great fish-eater because SWMBO is allergic to it so it's a kind of indulgence and means too much messing about in the kitchen. Most fish is quite good in batter 
Tinned sardines, though; wasn't Elvis Presley supposed to have grown 'a bit overweight' from eating fried sardine sandwiches? I think they are made with peanut butter and then fried in butter.
Yes, fish is the healthy option. Take cod-liver oil capsules instead

Hi Ian,
Tinned Tuna, quick easy and quite filling and not too expensive - the oil it flavours the salad and I love fresh ground black pepper.
Improved diets - always going to be a life time challenge What works for me is porridge ( microwaved with water, you get used to it) for breakfast; Lunch and Evening meal - Small 22cm dinner/side plates, getting portion size down is quite a challenge but smaller plate help a treat. Avoiding carb binges works for me, and having a non alcoholic drink after a meal helps stop me wolfing down more than i need.
Fruit, Banannas etc keep you going between meals, or rice cakes, coleslaw on crackers.
Oldy enough core exercises also seem to help, cross trainer/situps etc anything that tones the midrift area make me more conscious of what i eat. If only i could keep up all these good intensions
The other fish is tinned sardines/pilchards etc - again flavoursome fish to mix with salads.
Good luck with your best intensions, but the odd blow out is a necessary enjoyment to remind you to be good for the rest of the week.

Weekends usually mean at least one Prawn Vindaloo with piles of all the usual stuff.
Since I gave up working for a living, I've put on a stone and a half.
And I couldn't care less . . . !

Love fish, there's so much variety. I do a mean salmon risotto with asparagus, garden peas, garlic, white wine and loads of lemon. Sea bass, king prawns in chilli sauce with pasta, smoked haddock pie, and Willie is reminding me that we haven't had halibut in ages.
Oh and home-made fishcakes...

I have not had battered fish (cod or haddock) since last February. My wife will not eat Fish & Chips so I tend to choose them when visiting a pub for lunch with my mates after playing tennis. Because of COVID this has not been possible. Occasionally, I would call in a local F&S shop but again COVID makes that difficult.
However, I am fed seafood regularly including Salmon, Cod, Prawns, Lobster, Scallops, Cockles and Tuna Fish.

Don't get to eat much fish in house as the wife has a severe allergy to fish & seafood, although she loves fish it nearly killed her once

If the EU is now blocking seafood imports, we will have to eat more,
