Q. Is it safe to eat fish and drink milk at the same meal?

Is it safe to eat fish and drink milk at the same meal? My husband's uncle, and several other people he has heard about, have died from eating this combination. Personally, this sounds like other conditions may have existed or possibly it is a myth, but my husband refuses to drink milk when we have fish for dinner. Well, he doesn't refuse to, but just don't tell his mom or she will flip out.

A. I have never heard of any reasons why the combination of fish and milk could be dangerous. It must have been a coincidence that someone died around the same time they ate fish and drank milk.

This myth does seem to persist, however I haven't found the origin of it.

Previous post was taken from a nutrition Q&A site. I have no idea how credible it is.


I couldn't find any other info on it, I did search for you!

maybe the fish re-generates using the milk as a source of energy and foods and then eats its way through your insides slowly

Ok Thanks all, my favorite drink is milk and my girlfreind keeps telling me not to drink it with fish because we eat fish like once a week and I get tired of hearing it. Thanks for the clarification.

Must be a myth. I have a few friends here from Norway and they cook fish with cream all the time. The first time I saw this I was thinking they are crazy, but after I tried it, I see it is good. I also eat at a Danish Military camp all the time, they drink milk and eat fish like crazy at every meal. They all look healthy to me.

humans are the only animals that drink milk past puberty. I love milk but drink it sparingly and only use it cut half and half with water for my oatmeal. It increases my mucus production and i hack shit up for half a day if i drink 16oz. But i have never been hospitalized for eating a tuna sandwich and drinking milk.
