Fish allergen

Fish is among the most common food allergens.

MedlinePlus lists fish among the foods that most often cause food allergies. This refers to finfish such as tuna, salmon, and cod.

Shellfish are listed separately from fish on MedlinePlus. Allergy to one fish does not automatically mean allergy to all fish.

Avoid fish if you are allergic and read labels on packaged foods.
