Narrative:
During the last 40-45 mins of cruise/descent I became ill with severe stomach cramps and feelings of nausea to the extent of becoming incapacitated for approximately 15-20 mins. The first officer took over flying and PNF duties. Approximately 30 NM from sfo, I resumed PNF duties and we landed uneventfully. I did taxi the aircraft to park. (Approximately 2 hours earlier I ate a fish crew meal after departing den).
