Hake
Hake: low in histamine. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Low
Hake has notably soft flesh and spoils faster than cod or haddock - it is the white fish that least forgives a slow journey home. Little free histidine, so a fresh hake is genuinely low; a hake that has sat at the counter is the one white fish where that matters most. The legal histamine limits of 100 and 200 mg/kg are written for the histidine-rich scombroids, not for this fish - which does not exempt it from the clock.
