Sea bass

Sea bass is notable for histamine. Clear on FODMAPs, lactose, gluten, fructose, oligosaccharides, sorbitol, sucrose, tyramine, salicylate, nickel and oxalates.

Sea bass contains only low levels of histamine. Sea bass 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. Most sea bass on a European counter is farmed, gutted within hours of harvest and sold whole on ice. Freshness is the whole of it: the count climbs with every hour out of the cold, and no label records it. Amounts vary by brand and recipe, so always check the label of the exact product.
