I don't particularly care for meat, but I want to try this. Is fish acceptable?

Fish is good, but it is probably too low in fat all by itself. You could add bacon drippings. For that matter, what about fish and bacon? You could also trying adding butter or cococut oil, or supplement with fish oil.

Do you like shellfish? They are very nutrient dense. Some people are intolerant or allergic, though.

I'd be interested to see how it goes!

I love sardines/kippers. The brand I usually eat have 8g of fat and 11g of protein per serving. I'll eat bacon every morning with eggs. I like salmon cooked in coconut oil. I can tolerate steak. I like chicken and even liver cooked in bacon. Stew beef has always been a favorite...I'll let you know...this page has been very helpful...thanks!

Fish is variable in fat content - mackerel has about 60% of its calories from fat, wild salmon 40%, herring 52% etc etc. So picking the right fish species can give you as good a fat/protein balance as the right cut of meat.
