I don't see any advantage to substituting fish instead of animal proteins.
"Substituting fish for animal proteins like beef, pork, or poultry lowers your intake of saturated fats and boosts essential omega-3 fatty acids. Fish is a highly digestible protein source that helps fight inflammation and supports long-term heart and brain health"

==================================
No matter what, good nutritional intake is needed. Karen Carpenter's (March 2, 1950 – February 4, 1983) eat and puke diet was imprudent.
My point here is various research evaluations may be flawed, due to nutritional ignorance, and/or subjects not consuming the dietary plans. And needless to say, each person's "bio-machinery" are not the same.
===========================
Here is a good point below, not the topic, but during a week, we need to replenish certain nutrients/vitamins...
"Omega 3 fatty acids are the reason it’s recommended that we eat two portions of oily fish, like salmon, each week;"
================================
RE: "incorrect assumption that saturated animal fats are bad."
Nutritional awarness has evolved overtime, and a person needs to evaluate what they are eating when going on "extreme" diets, like KD.
Historical Bias: The sweeping condemnation of saturated fat stems from the 1950s "diet-heart hypothesis". Early, limited observational studies suggested a link between dietary fat and heart disease, but subsequent, robust clinical trials have largely failed to establish a direct, causal link
If iirc, that Spanish KD paper was publish around 2008...so I might assume that was state of the art thinking then.
