Frequently asked questions

Which intolerances does Atlantic herring affect?

Atlantic herring is notable for Histamine.

Does Atlantic herring contain Histamine?

Yes — Atlantic herring is high in Histamine. fish and seafood build up histamine very fast once caught, and cooking does not destroy it. For a low-histamine diet choose fish frozen at sea or flash-frozen, eat it the day it thaws, and never keep leftovers, which gain histamine quickly. Amounts vary by brand and recipe, so always check the label of the exact product.
