Is tobiko high in dairy proteins?

Watch for

• Fish roe is a separate allergen from fish flesh.The proteins involved differ, so tolerating salmon does not predict tolerating roe, and an allergy to roe does not mean fish is off the table. Roe allergy is well documented and can be significant.
• It is a cured product.Salt, soy sauce, mirin and sugar are standard, which means tobiko carries wheat and soy from the soy sauce and a real sodium load that plain roe would not.
• Graded mild on histamine, histamine liberation and tyramine.That is the cure and the storage speaking, since salting and holding are amine friendly conditions.
• Fish and shellfish is one of the six groups removed on a six food elimination diet for eosinophilic oesophagitis, so tobiko comes out on that protocol regardless of how gently it grades elsewhere.
• The coloured varieties are not flavour free.Green is wasabi, yellow is usually yuzu, black is squid ink, and red is often beetroot or paprika. Each brings its own ingredient to log.
