Histamine PoisoningBe very careful with tuna as they can cause histamine poisoning if they are not cleaned and cooled immediately. After we left Funafuti in Tuvalu we caught two yellow fin tuna on the same line, but didn’t realize it until we pulled in the lines for the night. They were probably struggling against the snubber for a good half an hour or more. We kept a good 35 pounder, bleed it and then placed it whole in the top of the fridge to be dealt with in the morning. We ate great sashimi for lunch had more for dinner and some of us started getting hot flashes with red spots on our chest and diarrhea that night. As tuna fight they start to heat up and release histamines during the struggle. Because the tuna was at the top of the fridge it didn’t get enough cooling and the process continued for a while. Luckily we didn’t get any worse but now we clean our tuna immediately to avoid this rare phenomena. |
