Haddock

What is Haddock?

Haddock is a type of fish commonly found in the North Atlantic Ocean. It is a popular choice for cooking due to its mild flavor and flaky texture. Haddock is often used in dishes like fish and chips, soups, and stews. It is a good source of high-quality protein, vitamins (such as B12 and niacin), and minerals (including selenium and phosphorus). Haddock is commonly available fresh, frozen, or smoked.

Why Do I Have an Intolerance to Haddock?

An intolerance to haddock, or any fish, may arise due to an adverse reaction to specific proteins or histamines found in the fish. This can be a result of an allergy or a sensitivity that causes gastrointestinal symptoms like bloating, nausea, or diarrhea. 

Fish intolerance can also be linked to the presence of other compounds, such as biogenic amines, which can cause digestive issues in sensitive individuals. Overexposure or contamination, such as from improper storage, might exacerbate symptoms.

What Can I Do About It?

To manage haddock intolerance, avoid consuming haddock and other fish that trigger your symptoms. Option for alternative protein sources such as poultry, legumes, or tofu. Ensuring proper food handling and storage can also help reduce the risk of intolerance or adverse reactions.
