Meats are not all created equal
I try to eat a variety of protein sources, since I make a practice of getting the RDAs for the B vitamins from food. The nutritional profiles for beef, pork and chicken are actually pretty dissimilar:.
As you can see, beef is relatively high in B-12, zinc and iron. The iron requirement used in the graph is 18mg/day - the RDA for young women. Pork is high in thiamin and riboflavin. Chicken is high in niacin and B-6. All three meats have pretty similar protein and fat values.

Mary, I'd like your opinion on a "salmon experience" of mine. Over the course of the last month, I've eaten the "short smoked salmon salad" offered at both Sweetwater Tavern (Centerville) and Coastal Flats (Fairfax Corner). I've enjoyed these in the past, taking from the restaurant 1/2 of the salmon for another meal. It is filled with lovely, fresh greens and a small amount of goat cheese (if requested). I always omit the dressing. Anyway, the last 2 times I've eaten this salmon, I've experienced tingling and itching, mostly in the upper portion of my body and scalp. The condition subsides in about 12 hrs. Since I've never experienced this before, do you believe this is a reaction to the "bad stuff" from farm raised fish, or could it be a sudden development of an allergy? I've looked through CR archives, but I've haven't found any mention of the tingling. With your experience with food allergies, I hope you can advise. Thank you!
P.S. Both restaurants are owned by the same company, so I'd assume they have the same fish supplier.
