I WANT to like seaweed salad for example....I hear it's great for iron....and mines gets very low....and it doesn't TASTE bad...it's just...the entire time I'm eating it...all I can think is....I"M EATING SEAWEED!!! But I can eat nori...so go figure...

Now why are you leery of trying a fish taco?

You may like it. If you don't, that's ok too.

Seaweed salad is definitely not for everyone. I happen to love it but it took some getting used to at first. Remember that the source of our food chain is at the bottom of the sea. All of that cellular matter in the seaweed looks just like hemoglobin under a microscope, so go figure. If you feel good after you eat the seaweed salad you may come to appreciate it more.

When I first started eating sushi I was 15 and my Mom was trying to convince me that I would love it and I recall saying something like "Mom there is no way that I am going to like raw fish" and wow did I give her a hard time about it. Yet, it took her about 5 minutes to find a flavor profile that I would like and that turned out to be Tekka Maki and poof..I was a believer. So maybe seaweed salad is not for you but perhaps something like spinach steamed and tossed with soy sauce, rice vinegar, a dash of toasted sesame oil would be more your thing and you would get thr iron benefits.
