Most fish belong to high purine, a few are middle purine and a few are low purine. (< 25mg belongs to low purine, 25 ~ 150mg belongs to middle purine, > 150 belongs to high purine).
Only Siniperca chuatsi (other aquatic products including sea cucumber and jellyfish skin) belong to hypopurine fish.
The fish belonging to middle purine include tuna, mandarin fish, perch, eel, cod, swordfish, abalone, eel, swordfish, crucian carp, grass carp and black pomfret (other aquatic products include fish balls, shark skin, crab, squid, shark fin, shrimp and eel).
