Is being pesciterian enough? My friend said she went pesciterian for the environment
Well it depends, if that's all you can reasonably do, then your best is always enough. If you're choosing to continue to eat fish despite not needing to, then it is definitely not enough, not ethically and certainly not environmentally.
There are very good reasons to give up meat for environmental reasons, but almost none to continue to eat fish or dairy for environmental reasons. With the plague of bycatch, discarded fishing nets and disappearing fish stocks all over the world it is one of the most unsustainable foods you could eat, not far behind beef and dairy itself.
If this is what your friend needs to do to transition to a plant-based diet then that is totally fine, and any reduction is objectively a good thing. You should celebrate that and praise her for it, make sure you stay positive about what is absolutely a positive decision, or you'll turn her off it completely. If she is new to it then now is not the time to push, not when she is still adapting to what is still a pretty big change. You certainly don't want to be criticising her regardless.
Just keep encouraging her to go further once she has gotten used to her current level of reduction, because eating fish when you have plenty of other options is not sustainable and it most definitely isn't ethical. She may just not know, fish is always vaguely marketed as if it is sustainable when that couldn't be further from the truth. You know her better than I do so you'll know the best approach to take, just make sure to give her credit for the steps she has already taken.

I thought I'd give a little update on my journey of trying to eat meat again after about 11 years of vegetarianism.
This is what has changed so far:
• literally nothing
• just more tootin'
• like really just more gas
• that's it
Thank you for reading ☺️

Does anyone here do a pescetarian diet? I've been vegetarian for around 4 years now and I'm wanting to incorporate more protein options into my diet and also not have to take these damn fish oil pills that make my burps taste like absolute ass every day 😭 (I need omega 3's for my heart though, so I have to get them SOMEHOW). Plus, the texture of seafood doesn't bother me as much as regular meat does - minus the TINY STABBY FISH BONES UGH.
Tbh I'm especially thinking primarily invertebrates like scallops and crab bc they don't really have the capacity to suffer in the same way that vertebrates and more complex invertebrates do. (Like, no shade to people who do eat those things!! I just don't want to eat anything I wouldn't personally feel comfortable killing.)
Problem is A) I actually have no idea how to cook seafood (though I imagine it'd be somewhat similar to any other protein??) and B) raw seafood smells so bad lol.
Maybe I could start with frozen scallops? I saw some at Aldi the other day and they were really cheap. Or like, smoked salmon - thouuugh idk if I would eat salmon due to the aforementioned "I don't think I could kill a fish" thing lol.
Also does anyone know of affordable places to get foods derived from cricket flour? I know that's not exactly pescetarian, but it's in the same vein as "I want more sustainable protein in my diet" and I've heard crickets are winners in that book. Unfortunately, the cricket chips I saw were like 20 bucks for three small bags 😬 So maybe that idea will have to go on the backburner lol.
ALSO if anyone has suggestions for plant-based foods high in omega 3s and/or protein, I'm all ears! I don't like lentils and I'm fairly picky with legumes in general, but otherwise I'm open to whatever 😭

Would not recommend using jackfruit as a chicken substitute in chicken salad. Wasn't good.

Steamed Black Sea Bass with Silgochu and Green Onions
Tumblr media
Back in the day (like 10 years ago), I would post at least once a week. Sometimes several times a week. How did I find time to do that? No idea. Nowadays, my life is filled with meetings, child care pick-up, date nights with my husbands, travel, and other things I stopped blogging about. I don't want to be posting about everything, but at some point, posting about everything became a habit. Is it a sign of a specific generation? Boredom? Humble bragging?
I created this fish dish the other day. If you don't have access to black bass, it can easily be substituted with another flaky white fish. I swear one of these days, I will be posting less seafood recipes. I'm just really REALLY into it lately.
For 4 servings:
2-3 lbs. whole black bass
2 tbsp. Minced ginger
4 tbsp. Rice wine, divided
1 tsp. Kosher salt
6 green onions
2 tbsp. dark soy sauce
3 tbsp. water
1 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/8 tsp. ground white pepper
silgochu (chili thread), to garnish
Clean, gut and descale whole sea bass. (Or ask a fishmonger to do it for you!) Season fish with ginger, 2 tablespoon rice wine and salt. Let it set for about 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, cut slice green onions into 3”-4” long pieces. Slice lengthwise into thin strips. To make the sauce, mix together remaining rice wine with dark soy sauce, water, granulated sugar and minced garlic.
Place half of the green onions in a steamer. Place seasoned fish on top and steam for 15-20 minutes. Immediately, pour the sauce over the fish and finish with ground white pepper and silgochu.
Side dish ideas: tamagoyaki, potato salad, cucumber salad

Honey Cashew Shrimp Honey Cashew Shrimp is another one of my variations of the iconic Panda Express’s honey walnut shrimp. Sweet, succulent, sticky, tangy with the subtle crunch from the cashews that gives a creamy texture to the dish, and makes #deliciousnessonaplate.  Although this recipe has a few moving parts, it's easy to make, and can come together in less than 45 minutes.

Did you know that fish can multitask? And even develop cultural traditions? Unlike most people believe, they have pretty good memory. They live in complex social groups in which they keep track of individuals and learn from each other. These groups can develop cultural differences from each other. Fish can even use tools like primates, just not express themselves through face and limbs!

What made you stop being vegan?
I was never vegan. I was technically a pescetarian who ate mostly vegan/vegetarian.
(that means I sometimes ate fish because of lack of options in restaurants.)
I did this for 11 years but I was looking into healthy eating and living the last several months.
Looking at homesteading, holistic health and really going back to traditional skills.
I realized how backwards it was of me to eat a vegan "burger" , thinking I was doing the right thing for myself and the planet.
When the whole process of making that "burger" ends up being a lot more polluting and harmful to myself, others and the environment than a normal grass-fed organic beef burger from a local farmer.
The amount of benefits that local organic meats has for your health!
And the different uses for all parts of the animal, nothing will go to waste!
It just seemed like the better, more healthier option for me personally.
Still I don't eat meat daily.
I still cook vegetarian meals as well.
I'm slowly learning new recipes (they're new to me 🤭) and learning the best ways to get the most out of it ☺️
Also I'm willing to learn so much more, maybe I'm wrong in my decision!
I'm very much open to learning from others and their different perspectives ☺️
