JackolanternI wonder how they survived. And that the pup looks quiet healthy.
Fish and rainwater, apparently.
I always thought raw fish was filled with parasites and worms, which was why ‘raw’ fish is always flash frozen first. I’d imagine in a situation where the chances of dehydration are so high, risking food poisoning would be life or death.
They can be but are not always. Fish are flash frozen for freshness first.
However humans can’t live on fish alone for 3 months without serious health effects. Hopefully he gets that looked into.

You got a source for that?
From what I could find, people generally seem to agree that you can survive a really long time on fish alone, with the biggest issues being the lack of vitamin-c.
It’s not healthy to only eat fish, and much less so raw fish, but 3 months shouldn’t be a serious health risk.
Nutritionists don’t recommend fish more than 4 servings per week. The main reasons are as follows:
The high oil content has increased chances of causing upset stomach when consumed for long periods of time.
Fish are great for Omega-3 but also high in Omega-6. Consumption of high levels of fish can cause liver and heart disease. This reason is why some contestants pn the TV show “Alone” stop eating a high fish diet.
Ocean fish have increased levels of mercury and microplastics.
