And the reason that I mentioned those specifically is because they're high in iron. Not all bivalves are high in iron. Oysters have 5.6mg iron per 100g, and mussels have 4mg iron per 100g, and clams have 1.6mg iron per 100g. Scallops are a type of bivalve, but they only have 0.4mg iron per 100g. Prawns aren't bivalves, and the also only have 0.5mg iron per 100g.

My point was that if you're introducing seafood into your diet for the purposes of improving your iron levels, then you should focus on consuming seafood that is high in iron. It doesn't have to be a mollusk/bivalve if that doesn't matter to you, as there are other fish that are also higher in iron (though not as high as oysters/mussels), but just keep in mind that eating any random fish is not going to automatically help with your iron levels. For example, eating a piece of salmon (0.6mg iron per 100g) everyday is probably not going to have a significant impact your iron levels. I would recommend looking up any seafood you're interested in eating on https://cronometer.com/ to see how much iron they have!

Jackfruit in Brine (Ka Noon) - 20oz (Pack of 3) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GRR8KES/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_KB79VSYPHJ0W2SQ7WJA3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I buy this from a local international grocery. You gotta cut off the chunkier bits. I’ve done it a few different ways and it always turns out pretty good. I usually get a good amount out of two cans. Cooked it in my crockpot for five hours the other day and it was pretty good. I’ve done it quick on the stove top too. There’s lots of recipes out there.

I did a quick Google search and found this website: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine/2014/10/can-eating-the-wrong-fish-put-you-at-higher-risk-for-mercury-exposure/index.htm

It has a chart of which fish have low Mercury and lists how much you can safely eat per week. Under that, it lists the fish with high mercury levels.

Big Tree Farms Coco Aminos Seasoning Sauce, 10 oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FN6GQTO/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_97R89KB7MMBXSMC7720C?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

This is the brand I use. I bought it from Food Lion. It's awesome. A lot of people like to use it as an alternative to soy sauce. This brand is much sweeter than soy sauce but I like it. I like to use a bit on my salads instead of dressing. I also made jerk sauce with it and it was amaaaaaazing. Cook most of my meats with it instead of adding seasoning. Love to put it on my brussel sprouts and broccoli. It has less sodium than soy sauce...it's really good you should try it.

I recently started using this cookbook I found on Amazon. It's pretty great. It's a great book for a basic guide to a pescetarian diet. It gives you a 3 week meal plan to try and has a shopping list as well.

Royal Asia is where's it's at. Love their crab ragoon, which unfortunately has been out of stock for like six months as well as their calamari.

Speaking from experience it can sometimes be difficult to stay true to your dietary preference - especially when you become vulnerable to making choices that were not planned - I certainly experienced this many times until & started using a planner. I'm on track now due to using this planner - which makes it easy to stick to my plan especially when shopping.
