For individuals with histamine intolerance, navigating the seas of seafood options can often feel like a daunting task. The concern over histamine levels in fish is a legitimate one, as higher histamine content can trigger adverse reactions in sensitive individuals. At Bradley’s Fish, we understand this concern, and we strive to offer solutions for those seeking fish options suitable for their dietary needs.
We are also aware that medical experts are increasingly reporting that abnormally high levels of histamine now appear to be a factor in Long COVID and some interest has been given to the low histamine diet. However, at present, there is limited evidence, and more research is needed to explore the effects of a low histamine diet in the management of Long COVID.
What fish in our range is compatible with a histamine intolerance?
Our approach to answering this question is rooted in our knowledge of the fish we offer and the handling processes. We prioritise identifying fish with the shortest time from capture or harvest to freezing, as prolonged exposure to a “fresh” and chilled state can lead to elevated histamine levels.
Here are some of our recommended options:
Haddock Fillets Finest (frozen at sea)
Hake Fillets (frozen at sea)
Whole Mackerel (frozen at sea)
Cod Fillet Finest skin off (frozen at sea)
Cod Loin (frozen at sea)
Coley Fillets (frozen at sea)
Redfish (frozen at sea)
Coho Salmon Fillet (frozen at sea)
Although we are not medical professionals and do not conduct histamine level testing on individual fish pieces, we are well-versed in the sourcing and freezing techniques employed for our products. This knowledge enables us to confidently suggest these options to individuals dealing with histamine intolerance.
We understand the challenges faced by those with histamine intolerance in finding suitable fish to include in their diets. Therefore, we are committed to providing accessible options that prioritise freshness and quality.
Purchasing frozen fish from Bradley’s Fish offers a clear advantage over the offerings found in supermarkets. Unlike the defrosted or weeks-old “fresh” fish commonly found in supermarkets, a selection of products in our extensive range of seafood are rapidly frozen, preserving their freshness and minimising histamine accumulation.
At Bradley’s Fish, we recognise the importance of providing options for individuals with specific dietary needs. Our selection of frozen-at-sea fish offers a solution for those managing histamine intolerance, ensuring that they can enjoy seafood with confidence and peace of mind.
