Salmon Allergy (IgE)
A common fish and one of the more persistent food-allergy triggers in adults.
Consider this test if:
- Hives, swelling, vomiting, or breathing trouble after eating salmon or other fish
- A prior reaction to fish and you want to clarify which species are involved
- Confirming a suspected fish allergy before reintroducing or avoiding it
- Tracking sensitization over time after a past reaction
- HSA/FSA eligible
- Results delivered to your dashboard · Reviewed by a real clinician
- Drawn at a CLIA/CAP-accredited lab near you ·
Pre-test considerations
No fasting required, and timing does not matter. Recent antihistamines do not affect a blood IgE test, unlike skin testing.

What this test is for
Salmon is a widely eaten fish, and fish allergy is one of the food allergies most likely to persist into adulthood, with reactions ranging from hives and swelling to vomiting and anaphylaxis. This test measures IgE antibodies to salmon, the antibody class that drives immediate allergic reactions. A positive result means sensitization, not a confirmed allergy: a true allergy requires symptoms that track with exposure, so the result is read against your reaction history. Fish allergy often involves cross-reactivity between species through a shared muscle protein, so reactions to salmon and other fish can travel together.
Biomarkers tested
Includes 2 biomarkers
- Specimen
- Serum
- Measures
- Concentration
This test measures IgE antibodies your immune system builds specifically against salmon proteins, the same antibodies that trigger allergic reactions on re-exposure. A positive result means your immune system has flagged salmon as a threat and releases histamine on contact, producing hives, swelling, stomach upset, or, in severe cases, anaphylaxis. It's worth checking if you've had a reaction after eating salmon or other fish, or if you're building an elimination diet and want to confirm what's actually driving your symptoms rather than guessing.

Frequently asked questions
View all FAQsHow does pricing work?
Every test shows the member price next to the standard non-member price, so you can see what membership saves you. The member price is our cost — covering the lab and what it takes to run the service — never a profit on the test itself; Mito makes its money on the $9 membership, not on marking up your tests. Membership is $9/mo, and you still pay the lab’s order fee. Prices are itemized before you pay, with no hidden fees.
Where do I get tested?
Choose a partner lab (Quest, Labcorp, or BioReference) at checkout. If your cart spans multiple tests, we consolidate the whole order onto a single lab so you only make one visit.
Is this eligible for HSA/FSA?
Yes. This test is HSA/FSA eligible, and you can pay with your HSA/FSA card at checkout.
When will I get my results?
Your results post to your dashboard once your lab completes them, then a clinician reviews them and your full analysis and personalized action plan (with clear next steps) follow. Turnaround varies by test: specialty assays and at-home kits take longer, and each test shows its expected turnaround before you buy.
Do I need a doctor’s order?
No. Mito provides the lab order for you, so you can book and get tested without a separate doctor visit.
