Shishamo (with roe, half-dried)

Shishamo (with roe, half-dried) is fine in moderation. Watch your portion size, especially during a flare. A typical 113 g serving has about 169 mg of purines, about 42% of a ~400 mg working daily target.

General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.

This is a half-dried (himono) fish. Partial drying removes water and concentrates purines, and it is eaten whole as a grilled side, so a normal serving carries more purine than the same weight of fresh fish.
