Oh, yes, bet lemon is good on mackerel as it has a strong oily flavor. The tomato pico de gallo is a bright note with a good mix of veggies.

Canning process softens all foods...increases your options..

I prefer the taste but fresh or frozen salmon can be pricey, while wild caught salmon is available canned and can be far less expensive. Some options include the skin (collagen protein) and soft edible bones, so more nutrients, too.

picked up a can of wild caught salmon on sale $5, 14oz. 50% off. At $10 a can, more expensive than previously frozen.

Here wild-caught frozen salmon is on sale periodically, so I always stock up then. The taste & texture is much better than any canned salmon I've ever tried (and I've tried them all). I often steam it from frozen.

Y'all may already know this, that any canned salmon labeled "Alaskan" is wild caught because Alaskan salmon is not allowed to be farmed. It may not say wild caught but is, so that might possibly broaden some canned options. The dollar store near us used to have cans of it but now now sells a skin and bone free brand, still Alaskan wild stuff though, for a buck. They also have four ounce pieces frozen, but it contains a bit of additives (preservatives?) so I'm leery of it.

I also love mackerel, which has a high level of brain nutrients. Tasty, too.

Based on this article I got Astaxanthin (4 mg) and took my first dose yesterday. Everything I've eaten since then has made me nauseous. My stomach is very "delicate" at the best of times, and it hates it when I try new supplements.

Has anybody else tried the supplement? This is the NOW brand which claims it's made with Zanthin:

Zanthin®​ Natural Astaxanthin is manufactured in Florida using Chilean microalgae from a remote, pristine environment that naturally produces a very high astaxanthin content.

Valensa offers the best stability and shelf life (up to 7 years) available due to a unique patented extraction process (Deep Extract® ​high pressure supercritical CO2​) and Peroxidation Blocker Stabilization technology (O2​B®​).

Zanthin®​ Natural Astaxanthin is clinically substantiated for Joint Health with additional proprietary patents for Heart and Eye health

I usually buy a pound of salmon each week, makes about 3-4 meals for me. The easiest way to prepare it is to pre-heat the oven to 400'. Then sprinkle your sammy with chili-lime powder and salt, or chili-lime powder and Santa Maria seasoning. Yum! Cook for about 20 minutes. I use it cold on salads or hot with a nice veg side.

Am I reading this right? He wants you to eat 4-6 ounces of salmon for every meal? So nothing but salmon?

As a child and young adult the only fin fish (as opposed to shell fish) that I would willingly eat was salmon; I just didn't like any others. I've grown out of that, but salmon is still my favorite. Luckily, in the Pacific Northwest it's not hard to find. Unfortunately neither my DH nor I have any interest in fishing so we are dependent on buying it from others. :-)

His diet prescribes other foods along with the salmon:
Quote:
He prescribes 4-6oz of grilled salmon three times a day, with porridge and melon or berries at breakfast, a green salad or leafy greens and more melon or kiwi fruit at lunch, then the same for dinner, with steamed vegetables. A bedtime snack of an apple, turkey breast or hazelnuts, walnuts or almonds is allowed. Any form of sugar is strictly forbidden. The low-GI fruit — berries and cantaloupe melon — is designed to break sugar cravings gently. After this three-day salmon diet (some of his followers do it as much as once a month) Perricone advocates sticking to a low-GI diet full-time, introducing other forms of protein such as tofu, tuna, cod, trout, turkey and goat’s cheese for variety, although he still advocates eating salmon most days.
These other foods (porridge and fruit) are too high in carbohydrate for me to safely eat. They might be alright for someone else with less insulin resistance. I could see myself eating those particular portions of salmon for three days, but I would need additional zero/VLC foods beyond a total of 18 oz of salmon per day to be sufficient.

I don't eat 18oz of any protein in a day. Goodness! That much salmon would break my budget. Also, I hate salmon. LOL Even 18oz of mackerel or tuna every day would make me sick.

Yes, thanks Zei ...I wasn't clear in my post. I understand that he prescribes other foods, but still - the idea of eating salmon for every meal "most days" sounds ridiculous.
