r/Pescatarian

Hi guys! I'm considering becoming a pescetarian, but I still live at home (I'm a teenager) and whilst I do cook the majority of my meals, my mum cooks dinner some nights too. Any advice or tips would be appreciated, thank you :)

just a couple questions;

1. Is everything that lives in the water fair game? like let’s say I live in a place where seals are legal to eat could I eat seals?

2. What are some good recipes you guys could recommend?

I’ve been vegetarian for 13 years now (I’m 19.)
I now live alone.
All I eat is various pastas and beyond burgers (fucking delightful, no complaints.)
I just want to have a nosey at what else people are making. Nothing too difficult, I can’t be fucked.
Everything I see is high effort or pasta, gimmie something new!

Has anyone transitioned from vegetarian to pescatarian successfully? I’ve been a vegetarian since I was 11 (I’m now 33). I’ve been thinking for about a year now of adding some seafood to my diet for health reasons. Unfortunately, I’m having trouble getting over the mental block of eating fish after so many years.

As the title suggests, I’ve been Vegan for 7 years, but I’m thinking of reintroducing Salmon.

I’m extremely active, and busy and I’m really struggling to get what I need. I’m too busy atm to maintain a balanced diet.
I’m after advice really from anyone who has made the switch. I’m really conflicted, but after a while I need to be honest with myself and say enough is enough.

So has anyone done something similar? What were your experiences with it?

How often do you all get tested for mercury toxicity if at all? I'm about 7+ years in to pescatarianism and had some strange but mild nervousness symptoms recently and figured now might be a good time to investigate for potential mercury toxicity.

I'm curious of others personal experience. How you monitor it? do you talk about it with your doctor? what type of labs/tests you get and how often?
