Because doctors have found that vegetables can carry e. coli. If produce is
imported from countries where the sanitation and fertilizers are different
from our own, you can end up getting sick from ingesting fecal matter.

In other words, it might have been the fish, the veggies, or pretty much
anything you ate that night, if a server or food prep person didn't wash up
properly or if the fish was kept too warm or if the the table wasn't wiped
down well or if the vegetables came from a section of Latin America or the
Caribbean where human and animal dung are used as fertilizer.

I wish I could be more comforting.
