Plaice

Other names European plaice
Plaice: low in histamine. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Low
Plaice is a flatfish, sold as thin fillets that chill through in minutes and cook in about the same - it spends less time at any risky temperature than a thick loin does. Very little free histidine. Fresh, it is one of the lowest fish on this axis. 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.
