I need some more protein options. I usually eat chicken, turkey, or beef. I don't eat fish, besides tuna, the taste just doesn't agree with me no matter how it is prepared. Even fried I can't stomach it! I'm not to keen on pork or lamb, not sure why. I know I am picky so please don't tell me I need to suck it up, because that isn't going to happen. Some other protein suggestions would be great!
Thanks

    It depends where you live of the availability but there is duck, quail, pheasant, squab etc. I actually see these at Asian Supermarkets a lot.

    If you live on the west coast there is dungeness crab availble now also
