Pescatarian Sushi Dreams & Shellfish Allergy Nightmares? Breathe Easy!

Navigating sushi menus as a pescatarian brings its own challenges. Adding a shellfish allergy? That can feel like traversing a culinary minefield. You love fish but must strictly avoid shrimp, crab, lobster, prawns, oysters, clams, scallops, and sometimes even tiny traces in stocks or sauces. Traditional sushi bars often mix shellfish and fish preparations, causing constant anxiety: Will this delicious-looking tuna roll trigger a reaction? Is the kitchen careful about cross-contamination? How much can you really trust the menu description?

The mm food Solution: Your Digital Sushi Guardian

The mm food app is designed specifically for diners facing this exact dilemma. Here’s how it empowers you:

1. Menu Translation & Clarity: Confused by a Japanese menu? Instantly translate it into your native language, ensuring no ingredient is lost in translation, especially crucial allergen information.
2. Set Your Dietary Profile: Easily input your dietary needs. Select "Pescatarian" and then add “Shellfish Allergy” (or any other allergy/intolerance like gluten or soy) to your profile. You can even add custom restrictions.
3. AI-Powered Safety Scan: Upload a photo of the menu or link the restaurant's online menu. mm food's AI dives deep, analyzing every dish description and ingredient list.
4. Instant, Customized Recommendations: Forget the guesswork! The app highlights dishes that are both safe for a shellfish allergy and align with your pescatarian diet. It clearly flags dishes containing shellfish outright.
5. Critical Cross-Contamination Insights: Based on the menu complexity and your allergy severity settings, mm food provides crucial warnings about potential cross-contamination risks (like shared knives, fryers, or surfaces).

What’s Typically Safe (With Vigilance!):

• Sashimi: Fresh fish slices (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, mackerel) – ensure no contact with shellfish handling zones.
• Nigiri: Fish on rice – avoid eggs (tamago) likely cooked with dashi (often contains shellfish extract), and imitation crab (surimi).
• Maki (Rolls): Simple fish rolls (tekka maki - tuna), cucumber rolls – beware of rolls containing crab (real or imitation), shrimp tempura, roe often processed near shellfish, confusing sauces.
• Appetizers: Edamame, seaweed salad (check dressings!), miso soup options like vegetable (verify dashi!).

mm food Makes You Confident: Don't let your shellfish allergy dim your love for sushi nights. mm food translates, analyzes, and flags, giving you the clarity to:

• Know exactly what's safe and pescatarian on this specific menu.
