Avacado, fresh coconut, fresh raw olives and nuts that don't need to be cooked before eating (walnuts, pecans, almonds) are great sources of "good" fats. Be sure to sprinkle flax seeds over everything you eat, they are great for you! :)

Seems like everything in moderation... ============ Quoting from dpking44: I haven't had any problems with fish myself.
