You need to consume several different protiens, some of which you can't find in plants.

I'm pretty sure that you can get all your amino acids from plants. Protein is a relatively easy nutrient to get enough of in a typical diet.
Fish are healthy because our body can't produce omega-3's, so we need to directly consume them; fish are high in those fats--or something like that.
It's a good thing to eat fish like twice a week. There is no need to eat more. Still, fatty fish like salmon are definitely healthy for you.
And on an end note,
I'm not surprised that tofu is on the list, but I'm surprised broccoli isn't.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
