If not, you will be deficient in the ESSENTIAL oil Omega 3. Science has determined that 65% of us have degenerative disease because of this deficiency. You can replace the raw fish with a pleasant lemon flavored omega 3 oil. It is by SeaBiotics and is called alkyl transfactor.

Ceviche & Sashimi YUMMMMMMMY!

yummmmm, all those vitamins, minerals, and parasites.

This is an All-Peruvian-Tip:

After an All-night-drinking-marathon the best thing you can have first thing next morning to get back on your feet is:

1.- A very cold beer

or

2.- Ceviche

and you are good to go!

I was born in Lima too and lived half my life in the 'Lince' district, attended school in the 'Rimac' District (that was always a very rough area..LOL.. loved it!) and worked at the Peruvian Army Technical School in 'Chorrillos' back in 87 as a computer teacher ("E.T.E" Escuela Tecnica del Ejercito), The other half i lived in the USA (until now).

Scoot, where in Peru are you from? My family is from Lima.

raw fish nonononononon

me? I will stick to Flax seeds...lol
The only fish I ever liked was tuna but I gave that up.......oh well for everyone else.........Enjoy!!

I used to live in a neighborhood where my neighbors were Peruvian. They brought over some Ceviche as a kind of house warming gift.

I tried it and LOVED IT! Oh my gosh! I moved since, but once in awhile they call me and ask if I want to come by for dinner.

Ceviche and sushi are my absolute favorites. Oh, along with raw oysters! yummmyy!!

Yep, that is real raw fish, beats any sushi.. LOL and much tastier too. I know some northAmerican people can't picture it. Me, being from Peru, is a traditional dish from the coast.
I admit is unusual for some people, but... I like it.. LOL

I eat Salmon about 4 times a week! I love the stuff! I especially love my Cheddar Bagel with Light cream cheese and lots of sliced LOX!

My 2 year old likes shrimp or pieces of salmon in her Ramen Noodles! Soooo, happy she likes it!

mmm... sushi and sashimi are some of my favorite things. unfortunately it's very nearly impossible to get the good stuff around here. :(

I love sushi and eat it at least once a week. In addition I've been taking supplements since I was a child. We call it tran in Norway and the taste of the fish oil was deeply hated when I was a child. Luckily for me now it comes in capsules!

I love sushi. I never thought I'd like it, but thought I was eating veggie and found out it was fish. After that, I started craving it.
I now eat it a couple times a month, but have to get omega-3 in an incredibly nutritious liquid vitamin suppliment. Did you know there is also Omega 6 and 12? I didn't know until I bought this liquid suppliment.

My aunt is from the South Pacific Island of Palau. Turned the whole family onto sushi, we can't get enough of it at family outings she is in charge of the appetizers which is always sushi.

I love sushi, didn't think I'd like but an old bf many years ago forced me to try it. I live where it's impossible to find sushi, but I look for it every time I travel now. Can't get too much of a good thing.

When I get fish it had better be cooked, or it goes in the oven or the barbecue! I could never get over the raw fish thing!

I like shsui/shashimi but don't eat enough of it (or coorked fish) to get enough omega-3, but theres alot of omega-3 sources:

The following foods are especially rich in the omega-3s (I just cut-n-pasted em).

Algae, including spirulina
Beans
Chia (a relative to mint)
Flax seed, freshly ground
Flax seed oil
Fish oil
Whole grains, such as brown rice and whole grain breads
Kukui (candlenut)
Purslane
Tofu
Walnuts
Leafy vegetables
Olive oil (choose extra virgin)

I don't use 'supplements' but see them all the time and they can be expensive, but heres something I wasn't aware of and to consider if you do use them (again cut-n-pasted, and I can't reference the source cuz urls are deleted on here):

Should you buy omega-3 supplements?

A word about supplements. Fish oil and flax seed oils are extremely sensitive to light and to air oxidation. They aren?t good practical sources. If you buy them, choose a store that keeps them refrigerated and buy in small quantities.

OT TIP:

Flax seed is an excellent and practical source of linolenic acid. The iron-hard seed coat, while protecting the oil from deterioration, also protects the seed from digestion.

To get around this problem, grind the flax seed in a coffee grinder. A tablespoon of ground flax seed delivers 1.5 grams of linolenic acid. Sprinkle the freshly ground flour on cereal or bake in bread or muffins.

Sarah try and find me, i saw u and ill see u soon, i love me la la la.
