Do Seventh-day Adventists eat salmon

Answer 1

The only 'rule' about the consumption of any type of fish is that it has scales and fins. There are no other specific rules about salmon or any other type of fish. Because salmon have these two characteristics, they are considered "clean" and can be eaten by Seventh-day Adventists (though a vegetarian diet is recommended).

Many Seventh-day Adventists believe that salmon is a food that is regularly affected by cross-contamination and other foodborne related pathogens.

Whilst this myth has been proven incorrect in recent times, a large amount of Seventh-day Adventists are firm believers, despite this popular chain of thought.

Cross-contamination can occur between any types of food, not just salmon, and this has been proved to be true and not only Seventh-day Adventists believe it.
Yes, and any fish that have scales.

Answer 2

Yes. Although they recommend a vegetarian diet for health reasons, they are allowed to eat certain creatures as prescribed by God in Leviticus 11.

Specifically in speaking about tuna - Leviticus 11:9 "Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams, you may eat any that have fins and scales." Since tuna have fins and scales, it is acceptable to eat.

Answer 3

Yes and no, while mackerel is a clean fish as defined in the Torah in Leviticus 11 and as such is an acceptable food according to Adventist theology, many Adventists, especially in the United States, recognize that it is healthier not to eat meat and are thus vegetarians: they do not eat any kind of fish or other meat.

Answer 4

Sardines are considered a kosher fish. That means that, like other members of the herring family, they have fins and scales.

According to the clean/unclean laws in Leviticus 11, Adventists who are not vegetarians should be able to eat sardines.

Answer 5

It is possible for anybody to eat anything... a more appropriate question would be, Is it acceptable according to Adventist theology to eat eel? And the answer would be No, it is not acceptable. Adventist theology abides by the Biblical standard of kosher food, and as eel does not have scales, it is not clean meat and is therefore not acceptable to eat.

If you are preparing food for an Adventist, you need to at least stick to kosher food, or better yet, stick to vegetarian food, as a majority of Adventists are vegetarians.

Answer 8

no
