Seafood
While some kinds of seafood could be consumed once in a while, many others should be removed from your daily diet if you want to reduce your levels of uric acid. These foods are often high in purines, which the body can break down into uric acid. Even during remission, you should take in several kinds of seafood with a limit. This is especially important when gout flares up. Some foods to avoid include haddock, tuna, codfish, trout, scallops, herring, mussels, sardines, anchovies, and shellfish. Crab, eel, lobster, and shrimp can be better seafood options for those people with gout and high levels of uric acid. [2]
