Food Allergen Series: Sea foods
Sea foods are now in high demand as people that are into weight management programs and those with cholesterol problems are avoiding meat products. However, allergic individuals will have to avoid sea foods and sea food products. The good news is that some individuals are allergic to only a certain species of fish, which means they can still eat other sea foods without any allergic reactions.
The three major sea food groups are: mollusca which include snails, mussels, oyster, clams, squid and octopus; anthropoda which include lobsters, crabs, prawns, shrimps, crayfish and lobster; and chordate such as cod, tuna and salmon.
