New York - Anne Keothavong, the Brit whose play at the US Open has surprised the field, keeps up her protein intake with a daily diet featuring a dose of ocean fare.
'Fish of day is fine with me,' the 24-year-old said.
Keothavong has duplicated her career-best showing in a Grand Slam by reaching the third round never before putting two straight wins together at a major.
Her performance is the best for Britain here since 1991, when Jo Durie and Sara Gomer got this far, with Durie advancing a round further then her countrywoman before losing to Jennifer Capriati.
Keothavong says she's not superstitious, but she might just stick with her habit of evening meals in New York with her coach and family off a menu featuring the catch of the day.
'I have friends and other people I like to go out for dinner with as well (as my family),' said Keothavong, who ranks 87 in the world. 'I'm not usually superstitious, but they had to sit in the same place and had to order similar kind of things.'
Keothavong next faces a test against Olympic champion Elena Dementieva, so every night is not an excuse for a healthy feast.
While at the table, the player has a one unbreakable rule when ordering. Her companions can, of course, take what they like - with one exception.
'They can do what they want, as long as we have a creme brulee for dessert.'
