Anglerfish

Anglerfish is notable for histamine. Clear on FODMAPs, lactose, gluten, fructose, oligosaccharides, sorbitol, sucrose, tyramine, salicylate, nickel and oxalates.

Anglerfish contains only low levels of histamine. Anglerfish is a lean white fish, low in the free histidine that bacteria turn into histamine - unlike tuna, mackerel and sardine, where the scombroid problem lives. It reaches the counter as a skinned tail rather than a fillet, and firm flesh hides its age better than soft flesh does — which is a texture, not a clock. Freshness is the whole of it: the count climbs with every hour out of the cold, and no label records it. Amounts vary by brand and recipe, so always check the label of the exact product.
