Alkaline Fish List
Alkaline Fish Update
I’m moving nutrient lists to ALKAscore. Where I’m also reconfiguring them to match the latest food groups. So it’s best to search for your favorite alkaline fish products. Or start from the new Food Groups Index (DGA Food Group 5: Seafood).
Here at Foodary, I’ll continue to investigate how diseases and wellbeing are affected by fish. Both as a group, and for individual seafood products.
Individual Seafood Products Science
Where I find studies about the effects of seafood on health and wellbeing, I will summarize them. Including articles on the effects of cod, crab, lobster, mackerel, milkfish, oysters, prawns, salmon, sardines, smoked salmon, shrimp, squid, tilapia, and tuna. So please let me know if you have special interest in any of these foods. Because that helps me prioritize my research.
Alkaline Fish List
I’ve retired the old format for Alkaline Fish List. But the original list is available as a free Alkaline Fish Spreadsheet. Or, you will find it in the free resources listed in your dashboard if you subscribe to my free Foodary Nexus Newsletter…

Subscription is free, and your email address is safe - I will never share it with anyone else. I use Gumroad to provide this service, as described at the Foodary Nexus Newsletter Service.
I’ve added extra columns to the spreadsheet to help you make choices about fish consumption. In particular, you can now compare PRAL values per 100 calories. So here are two examples from opposite ends of the range…
Highest Acid Load Fish
I’ve listed these fish products with the highest acid load first. Where the first number in the list is PRAL value per 100 calorie serving:
- 42 ┈ Mollusks, clam, mixed species, canned, liquid
- 17 ┈ Fish, pollock, walleye
- 16 ┈ Mollusks, cuttlefish, mixed species, raw
- 15 ┈ Fish, roe, mixed species, raw
- 14 ┈ Fish, surimi
- 13 ┈ Mollusks, scallop, mixed species, imitation, made from surimi
- 13 ┈ Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, imitation, made from surimi
- 13 ┈ Crustaceans, crab, alaska king, raw
- 13 ┈ Crustaceans, crayfish, mixed species, wild, raw
- 13 ┈ Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, canned
Lowest Acid Load Fish
Here, I’ve listed seafood with the lowest acid load. However, as a protein-rich food, there are no alkaline fish products. But you must remember that we never aim to eliminate acid-forming foods. Because we need to balance some acidic foods with more alkaline foods. So that daily PRAL totals become negative.
Therefore, choosing fish with the lowest acid load makes it easier to achieve your daily PRAL target. So, this list continues with the format of starting with PRAL value per 100 calorie serving:
- 1 ┈ Mollusks, oyster, eastern, cooked, breaded and fried
- 2 ┈ Fish, mackerel, salted
- 2 ┈ Fish, sablefish
- 3 ┈ Mollusks, oyster, eastern, canned
- 3 ┈ Fish, fish portions and sticks, frozen, preheated
- 3 ┈ Fish, herring, Atlantic, pickled
- 3 ┈ Fish, herring, Pacific
- 3 ┈ Mollusks, clam, mixed species, cooked, breaded and fried
- 3 ┈ Fish, mackerel, Pacific and jack, mixed species
- 3 ┈ Fish, spot
- 3 ┈ Fish, anchovy, european, canned in oil, drained solids
- 4 ┈ Fish, halibut, Greenland
- 4 ┈ Mollusks, snail, raw
- 4 ┈ Fish, catfish, channel, cooked, breaded and fried
- 4 ┈ Fish, cisco, smoked
For Alkaline Seafood, just add lots of Salad
I’ve listed other food group tables on my food chart description page.
Remember: these tables help you make better food choices, but the only way to confirm they are having the desired effect is by measuring the pH (acidity/alkalinity) of your urine. This is a simple process using widely available pH test strips or meters.
