Title: Open ocean fish - should they be included in the paleo diet?
Post by: Haai on January 24, 2012, 07:04:57 pm

Our paleo ancestors surely would not have had access to fish living in the open ocean, such as tuna and swordfish? So should we be eating them (regularly or at all)? Perhaps we are not fully adapted or have not evolved to assimilate these animals optimally. Maybe they even have some harmful properties?

Fish like salmon on the other hand I can imagine were eaten in very large quantities at certain times of the year, when they migrated from the seas and in to the rivers to breed. Brown bears continue to exploit this today.

If we are adapted to eating fish living near the coast, I would imagine we are also adapted to eating fish living in deep water.
