Man I eat the hell outa shrimp. I read it's high in cholesterol, but so are alot of things. Articles I've read say it's not so bad after all... My 2 cent..

from the stand point of some proteins are damn near worthless like breads and soy, and some proteins are superior to the rest like beef, eggs, and milk, where would shrimp fall when compared to tuna or roughy?

Good question I always just asumed it was a great source of protien becouse it's sea food, I never even heard of the high cholesterol??? Hmmmm
my favorite will always be civiche Cameron

Facts from FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal

Shrimp, cooked (1 cup) = 209 cals, 3.4g fat, 1.8g carbs, 40g protein

Tuna, canned (1 cup) = 171 cals, 1.2g fat, 0g carbs, 37.5g protein

shrimp is higher in numbers across the board.

sorry to hijack but could someone give me a list of the types of fish which are good sources or protein? i have very little variety in my diet and never eat fish at all, but when i thought about it iv never really tryed many types apart from salmon which i didnt like. so what other types of fish should i try? i need to find another couple of decent protein sources to include...
