Fish?

[KYteacher 0]

I've tried eating fish the last two Fridays...due to Lent...and find that I just can't do it. After one or two small bites I'm feeling 'stuck!' Anyone else have problems eating fish?

How are you preparing and what kind are you eating

I eat fish almost every night - I eat catfish, talipa and salmon baked with a little olive oil & garlic (350 for 15 minutes)- I have had no problems - but I can eat almost anything including bread as long as i eat slowy - small bites and chew and I do have restriction..

Have you tried tuna salad with lite or n/f mayo? ?? - Fillett of Sole is quite soft too - and back in the day when we had to eat fish every friday - my mom fixed it almost every week - but coated with corn meal & fried with an almondine butter sauce - I will still coat my fish with corn meal - spray with pam and bake - so may just have to get some sole this weekend...

my favorite fish is cod and turbot, and i am having trouble with them getting stuck. the only way to get them down is by adding them to a minestrone or vegetable Soup so they are very moist.

Fish has been a staple of mine since my earliest soft food stage. The key is to get a nice, flaky fish, cook it perfectly, take tiny bites, and chew well. If the fish is underdone, it will be chewy, if it is overdone, it will be tough. I like tilipia, orange roughy, cod and grouper. I like to dip the filets in a little seasoned egg wash, then dip in a bit of seasoned Parmesan cheese, then saute in a little bit of EVOO in a small pan. Make sure you are cooking it for the correct amount of time and chew, chew, chew!

I had the same problem, but I was trying to eat tuna salad. I have since swapped to talapia and grilled shrimp and have no problems as long as I chew well and don't over eat. I forgot yesterday was friday and took a bite of turkey and had to spit it out and then settle for a Protein Shake for lunch so I feel your pain. Take care.

I have trouble after about 3 bites of anything--even flaky fish. My doctor assures me everything is just fine with the band. I have no problem with my esophagus, and I have NO fill in my band. Yet, I still have trouble eating. It is unpredictable. Lately, I even have trouble throwing it back up...so I stay in pain for several hours. Does this happen to anybody else? What do you do about it?
