    However humans can’t live on fish alone for 3 months without serious health effects. Hopefully he gets that looked into.

    You got a source for that?

    From what I could find, people generally seem to agree that you can survive a really long time on fish alone, with the biggest issues being the lack of vitamin-c.

    It’s not healthy to only eat fish, and much less so raw fish, but 3 months shouldn’t be a serious health risk.

      Nutritionists don’t recommend fish more than 4 servings per week. The main reasons are as follows:

      The high oil content has increased chances of causing upset stomach when consumed for long periods of time.

      Fish are great for Omega-3 but also high in Omega-6. Consumption of high levels of fish can cause liver and heart disease. This reason is why some contestants pn the TV show “Alone” stop eating a high fish diet.

      Ocean fish have increased levels of mercury and microplastics.
