fish allergy
Reaction to seafood
A fish allergy is an immune reaction to proteins found in finned fish—salmon, tuna, cod, and others.
Unlike many childhood food allergies, fish allergies often persist into adulthood and can cause severe reactions including anaphylaxis.
People with fish allergies typically must avoid all species, though some tolerate certain fish while reacting to others.
