How do you say "Fish is okay" in Japanese?

Quick use

Use さかなはだいじょうぶです (sakana wa daijoubu desu) at a restaurant when you explain what you can eat.

It is especially useful after saying something like にくはだめです.

Chunk or pattern

• Reusable pattern: 〜 は / だいじょうぶ です
• Replace 〜 with the food that is okay for you.
• Useful swaps: さかな, やさい, たまご.

Core words

• さかな: fish.
• だいじょうぶ: okay / fine / acceptable.

Helper words and endings

• は: marks the topic, like “as for fish.”

Practical note

Here, だいじょうぶです means “it is okay for me.” In food restriction talk, it is a useful contrast with だめです.
