Fish or Beef?

Philippines
March 20, 2007 4:57am CST
I used to live in a village one kilometer away from the sea. So it wasn't uncommon to see fish on our table. And I read it on CNN that it can also lower our risk of getting inflicted with heart disease. Beef on the other hand is yummy only for so long, but it's still high in cholesterol. How about you? Which do you prefer, fish or beef?

I love fish....all fish,excluding cod....I think fish is a lot healthier than beef because it is high in Omega 3 which is good for high blood pressure and high cholesterol.....

I love both, but eat more beef than I do fish. I ate a lot of halibut when I was pregnant with my first son. Could be that's why I don't eat it now. I just got tired of it! LOL

well I stopped eating beef years ago when there was an out break of mad cow disease and to have a clean break i gave up all types of meat except fish and poultry hopefully soon I'll also be able to stop eating poultry some day trying to stay healthy

I always prefer fish to beef. Not so much for the health reason but it is simply because I love the taste of fish better than beef. My favorite fish dishes would be steamed and deep fried and I eat all types of edible fish. They are simply yummy!

I love fish, but because I do not live near an ocean or sea, much of the good fish is frozen. I end up eating more beef even though I like fish better. Because the fish is flown in or frozen, the really good stuff is expensive. That's why I eat more beef.

Probably fish, although a nice roast dinner occasionally is good, we eat far more fish.

I dont like eating fish at all the only seafood I will eat is lobster yes I know I have expensive taste. So I guess my answer would be beef.

I prefer beef also although I have to be careful because I do have high cholesterol and you are right eating fish can lower your cholesterol.

fish is the order of the day in our place. beef is a luxury nowadays and so we only consume it on special occassions like fiesta, birthdays, christmas and/or new year celebration. fish is good for those who have high in cholesterol, hypertension or heart ailment...

Actually between beef and fish i would take the beef, i can not really stand the smell of fish. But my first choice in meat is really chicken and they say that is even better then beef.

Definitely fish for me. More protein, less fat. And the best part about fish is that you can steam it... Oil-free cooking =)

If I have to choose I prefer eating fish,but the beef too is good if you are able to cook it in the right way without damaging your health.You're so fortunately to eat fish every time you want,here it's not fresh and it's very expensive!!!

Fish is more commonly eaten in Singapore than beef. I also take more fish than beef. Beef is always high in proteins... so if you eat too much and don't exercise, you risk getting heavy and fat. :P
