Moderation is key: It is not unhealthy to eat the dark meat in chicken and fish as long as it is consumed in moderation.

Yes: Some fish have a strip of dark brown muscle, which tends to be fattier than white muscle & tastier. Chicken muscle that is darker is due to having more myoglobin that white muscle.
