15 Foods to Eat When You Have Gout
Cold-Water Fish
While shellfish is largely off the menu, some seafood is a great choice. Cold-water fish has the essential fatty acids we need to stay healthy without a ton of purines. Fish like tuna is an especially great choice because it can reduce gout inflammation. Salmon is another excellent choice.
Since it still has a fair number of purines, experts say to limit consumption to one serving per day. The worst fish for people with gout includes anchovies, codfish, haddock, herring, mackerel, mussels, roe (fish eggs), sardines, scallops, and trout. Avoid all of these fish like the plague.
