Is It True Magnus Carlsen Doesn't Eat Fish?

     I read somewhere recently that Magnus Carlsen doesn't eat fish.  Is that true?
I know Bobby Fischer was fond of Herring and I would guess Sardines as well.
He also took a lot of vitamins and was somewhat of an exercise fanatic.
     I just find it humorous that fish is considered a brain food and Carlsen is
from Norway and doesn't eat foods that are quite popular in his native land.
     Ia this an Urban Legend or is there some truth to this?

I dunno, in New in Chess a few years back he said he likes Italian food and moose (!).

Anand and Leko are vegetarians, so they wouldn't eat fish or any other animal, either.

You know, the series of questions starting with favorite color reminded me of a different set of questions.

What is your name?

What is your quest?

What is your favorite colour?

Actually, I read that as moose face.  Not my favourite cut, but to each their own.

that's why sarah palin smells like fish
