Sensitization to fish allergens is a common cause of food allergy and atopic dermatitis. Immediate allergic reactions can occur even after small amounts of fish, including oral allergy syndrome, generalized urticaria, angioedema, and anaphylaxis. The allergens are heat-stable, meaning reactions can occur to both cooked and raw fish, although individual responses may vary. Some patients may react to airborne allergens released during fish preparation.
