Opinions vary. Can gout patients eat fish?

Truth: You can eat fish with low purine content.

Whether gout patients can eat fish depends on the purine content in fish.

According to the content of purine in food, we generally divide food into three grades: low, medium and high purine.

Low purine food gout patients are safe to eat; Purine foods can be eaten properly in gout remission and chronic stage; Gout patients should try to avoid high purine food.

So gout patients can eat fish with low purine content. Let's analyze the purine content of common fish.

Purine fish-a small amount of food

In the remission stage and chronic stage of gout, patients with gout can eat some purine foods appropriately to maintain the needs of the body and avoid nutritional imbalance.

Therefore, patients with gout in remission stage and chronic stage can eat a small amount of fish with moderate purine content, such as:

① Tuna

Tuna contains 72mg of purine per 100g, which belongs to medium purine food. Tuna, which lives in the upper and middle waters of the ocean, is rich in protein, a lot of DHA, EPA, vitamin D, and trace minerals such as iron and calcium necessary for human body.

② Perch

Every 100g of perch contains 70mg of purine. In addition, perch is low in fat and rich in high-quality protein and minerals.

③ Eel

Every 100g eel contains 92.8mg of purine, which belongs to medium-high purine food. Eel is a rare freshwater fish rich in DHA and lecithin, which is rich in nutrition and low in calories.

④ Cod

Purine content is 92.8mg/ 100g. Cod is a kind of fish with almost no fat, and its meat is rich in high protein and trace elements such as potassium, phosphorus and magnesium.

In addition, the purine content of eel, crucian carp, catfish, mullet, yellow croaker, salmon, red carp, grass carp, flounder and other fish is moderate, but it should be noted that gout is prohibited during acute attack.

High Purine Fish-Eat with Care

Silver carp, mullet, tilapia, loach, shark, saury and salmon with purine content exceeding 150mg/ 100g are all on the food blacklist with high purine content, and gout patients should try to avoid them at any time.

In short, it is suggested that gouty patients should choose mandarin fish if they want to eat fish. In the remission period and chronic period of gout, you can eat a small amount of fish with moderate purine, such as tuna and perch, and try to avoid other fish with high purine.

In addition, be careful not to eat too many fish at once. It is best to eat it once a week or two, and only eat fish meat instead of fish soup.
