If Lehlo likes those veggies and fruits, no problem. (I wouldn't feed apple seeds or raw potato/turnip skins though.) My dogs get lots of healthy table scraps on a daily basis. I just recognize that those are snacks, not a significant part of their diet.
My dogs won't eat raw fish. I've tried several different raw varieties: sardines, salmon, mackeral, trout, tilapia...they hate it all. Finn ran away from the tilapia and hid under the lemon tree, in fact! So the only fish they get is canned sardines, salmon, or mackeral as our "emergency" meal when I forget to thaw something. It's good for a change in protein source, but not absolutely necessary. I use fish oil capsules from Costco to fulfill their omega-3 needs, although grass-fed meats and good quality eggs will also provide those.
Mine also won't touch rabbit. But they've tried and liked kangaroo, emu, buffalo, ostrich, and other "exotic" meats and done fine. Most of the time, though, they get beef, pork, turkey, chicken, and goat/lamb -- mostly from the grocery store.
