Additional Informations
Sashimi, a traditional dish from Japan, is primarily raw fish which is notably devoid of products known to be high histamine foods, histamine liberators, or substances that delay histamine breakdown, as provided in your list. However, considering that sashimi consists of raw fish, it is worth acknowledging that the histamine content in such products significantly depends on the type of fish and how it has been stored prior to consumption. For instance, fish with higher histamine content include mackerel and tuna.
Under optimal storage and freshness conditions, sashimi would not be considered a high histamine food nor a histamine liberator. But, conversely, fish that has not been appropriately refrigerated or is not fresh can develop higher histamine levels due to the actions of bacteria present on the fish (Taylor, 1986).
Further, consuming wasabi with sashimi - a typical practice - could help in lowering the histamine response. Wasabi has been shown to have potential anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine properties, which may assist in countering any histamine present in the sashimi (Masuda et al., 2012).
To recognise the specifics of the different types of fish commonly found in sashimi and their histamine content or potential to liberate histamine, a detailed analysis would need to be undertaken. A conclusive statement cannot be made as the results would vary from species to species and other factors of freshness and storage.
