The "fishy" taste is likely indicative of a higher omega 3 content, you get the same taste from 100% grass fed and finished beef and buffalo due to the higher omega 3 content.
- itsoktocry 4y agoOmega-3 doesn't taste like fish unless it's literally fish oil, which is often an additive to improve the 3-6 ratio of foods. Flax seed doesn't taste like fish... Grass fed beef tasting "fishy"? I've never experienced that and can't imagine how it would work.
- geitir 4y agoIn my experience cheaper grass fed beef in the US commonly tastes gamey which can be interpreted as fishy. More expensive grass fed doesn't have this problem, so it likely has to do with diet or the cut.
- robocat 4y agoThe difference could also be due to how long the beef is hung or aged. Beef tasting too “gamey” might not be hung long enough (suggestion made last night by small farmer friends, fwiw).
- 0ldskool 4y agoi guess it depends on what type of fish you eat. I often eat relatively fresh salmon. I wouldn't say it tastes fishy even though its fish. It tasty oily, so much oil comes out in the baking process.
- walterlb 4y agoWe just started smelling/tasting some fishy flavor with eggs from one of our hens. We suspected flaxseed in the feed we were giving, and switching feeds seems to have fixed it. Brown egg layers are apparently more prone to this issue
- teruakohatu 4y ago> 100% grass fed and finished beef I am not sure this is true. I live in a country (NZ) where most cattle are grass fed their entire lives. This is supposed to mean higher omega 3 content but I have never tasted a fishy taste. Not even once. If grass fed and fishy taste are corrolated, I suspect there is another cause. Maybe organic fish containing grass fertiliser?
