Haddock
Haddock: low in histamine. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Low
Haddock 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. A good deal of it is sold smoked, and cold smoke is hours at a temperature bacteria are content with — a different answer from a fresh fillet. Freshness is the whole of it: the count climbs with every hour out of the cold, and no label records it.
