Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Low
Lean white fish is naturally very low in histamine when it is fresh — the risk here is not the species but the cold chain. Histamine starts building as soon as the fish is caught, faster the warmer it is kept, and cooking does not destroy it. Fresh, well-chilled or frozen-at-sea fish is fine for most people; fish that has sat at the counter, been thawed and refrozen, or come home slowly in a warm bag is a different food. A barcode cannot tell the two apart, which is why this is not marked as no concern at all.
