For any who are actually interested, the book The Okinawa Program has an extensive section on the Okinawan diet, and easy to find substitutes for Americans.
The book is massive, and contains a lot of dry statistics and case study summaries; but if you can wade through it all there's a lot of good to be had.
Brian,
How much fish do Okinawans actually eat--ie., how many times per week do they consume fish, and/or what percentage does it make up in their diet?
Thanks,

"The Japanese are the most warlike people in this part of the world. They have artillery and many arquebuses and lances. They use defensive armor for the body, made of iron, which they have owing to the subtlety of the Portuguese, who have displayed that trait to the injury of their own souls." --Gonzalo Ronquillo de Penalosa, commenting on well-equipped wako in the Philippines, 1582.
