Fish has all essential amino acids that human needs to survive. However, we could die if we only eat fish. Because fish has no Vitamin C which is crucial for human survival. Even today,we use few drops of lemon when eating cooked fish. Only fish that consume plankton has Vitamin C, but only way to properly extract it is to eat fish raw with the contents of their intestines.

Hi kissylyn,
That's certainly interesting. You're right about lack of vitamin C which can lead to scurvy. That's why sailors of the past perish from this disease when they set sail in the oceans for a prolonged time. In those days there were no Vitamin C tablets to bring along. Anyway nowdays eating fish alone can also be detrimental to one's health due to the presence of mercury, lead and toxic chemicals in the oceans and seas. By consuming these contaminated fish I'm afraid someday this can lead to disastrous results. Have a nice day.
