Histamine-producing bacteria in fish are found chiefly

  • A.only after the fish is cooked
  • B.in the intestine or on the skin
  • C.in the deep muscle only
  • D.in the bones and cartilage

Answer: B

Correct answer: in the intestine or on the skin

The organisms live on the outside and in the gut of the live fish, and the flesh of a healthy fish is essentially sterile. Histamine formation therefore begins at those surfaces and works inward, which is why prompt gutting and chilling are the standard controls.
