Why does eating fish seem less heavy than meat

Question

Eating fish always seems easier on the stomach than eating a piece of meat cooked/served a similar way (ex: just grilled). Biologically why is fish easier to digest than say chicken or red meat?

Answer 1

So not only is fish easier to digest just because of the muscle/protein structures, even salmon one of the fattiest fish normally available has 472 calories from an 8oz portion. A ribeye would be 660 calories, and chicken breast would be 374 calories.

But also note an 8oz piece of salmon is huge, and an 8oz ribeye is almost considered a “small” steak. The muscle density is completely different.
