Seabass (Japanese, skin)

Also listed as: Seabass, Japanese, skin, raw

Seabass (Japanese, skin) is high in purines or a known trigger. It is best avoided, especially during a flare.

General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.

Purine value (1400 mg/100g) is measured on SKIN-ON fish. Skin and subcutaneous connective tissue concentrate nucleoproteins significantly. Edible flesh without skin has substantially lower purine content (~200-300 mg/100g). Standard dietary guidance for gout is based on flesh-only measurements. Do not use this value to assess risk of a typical seabass fillet.

How much can I eat?

A typical serving is about 85 g, which delivers 1190 mg of purines, about 297% of a normal day's purine budget.
