    • ]]>     seafood allergyDo you have an allergy to fish or shellfish?  Then you are not alone.  Seafood allergies are on the rise. In 2004, more than 6.5 million Americans alone are thought to be suffering from a seafood or shellfish allergy.  Of these, 1 in 50 have a shellfish allergy while 1 in 250 have a fish allergy.

    If you suffer from a fish or shellfish allergy, it is probably best to avoid Asian restaurants, known to use fish sauce in many of their dishes.

    If you do find yourself dining out, do not order the Caesar salad, and ask if the fried foods are cooked in the same oil as the fish. And remember, “imitation crab” is actually made from fish.

    When you are shopping, be sure to avoid steak and Worcestershire sauce, which may contain fish.  Items containing omega-3 fatty acids probably have a form of fish or shellfish in the ingredients.
