Trout
Trout: low in histamine. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Low
Trout is a lean freshwater fish with little free histidine, and the practical question is which trout: a whole fresh one from a farm counter behaves like the rainbow trout entry, while smoked trout has spent days being cured and belongs with the smoked fish. The word alone does not tell you. Krizek measured the rainbow trout among three freshwater species and found no toxicologically significant histamine in any sample still of good or acceptable quality. The legal 100 and 200 mg/kg limits are written for the histidine-rich scombroids, not for this fish — which does not exempt it from the clock.
