Actually an interesting topic!!! I have a friend who loves fish but certain fish give him an allergic reaction! Reactions started years ago and were ver slight like hives or nausea and have gotten progressively worse over the years! Now I know what most of you are think it is shell fish or mercury allergy well your wrong! No reaction to shell fish and fish with supposed lower mercury contents give him bad reactions! The only other thing I could think of is handling and processing precudure from boat to sale! Turn out there is a histamine that is released from fish after they did and this histamine gives a verity of GI and dermatological reactions but very few respatory issues which is my friends allergy to a T! Now trying to do more research to see if flash freezing fish whole at immediate catch will decrease the release of this histamine! Obviously if the fish dies before frozen this histamine will be released! Would be interesting to know if local "fresh" fish is ever frozen in any way! Would love to test some of these theories but don't would feel a little bad using my human friend and a test rat if anything had happened!!! Hahahaha
