Indeed...

Doctors tell us to eat at least 2 servings of fish per week, higher fat
sea fish such as Salmon etc. $6.00 per lb. on up.

Fine doc'. Ya wanna buy it for me?
I can't justify the cost of eating it more than a couple of times per
month. Not when chicken is $.79 to $1.29 and pork is less expensive than
good beef (and fish).

Canned tuna is too high in salt to eat regularly but it is affordable.

Catfish nuggets right now are $1.69.

Fresh veggies (and fresh frozen) on the other hand are quite affordable.
My grossery bill is lower when I buy more of them. And we like them. ;-d
Fruit tends to be a bit higher but not always. Depends on season.

Rice, beans, pasta and bread are some of the lowest priced food on the
market.
