Actually, you can get all vitamins, minerals and micronutrients by eating scallops only. It's a whole animal and mineral rich due to inexhaustibility of ocean water (compared to soil mineral content).
But you still need rice and fish protein for nutritional bulk and flavor.
Are there other foods with this property? I hate scallops. (And shrimp.)
In theory, any shellfish should do it. Shrimp don't have this property. Shrimp are scavengers, whereas shellfish filter water. The latter activity is what creates the high mineral content.
Clams?
Yep, should work
Any bivalve, really -- clams, oysters, mussels.
