Ok, I was thinking about trying some of this stuff, but the thing is I'm allergic to all seafood. So I was wondering if this stuff would cause a allergic reaction?

This type of question would be better suited for a doctor rather than anybody that posts on this forum.

I think that if you're allergic to ALL seafood, then you will probably be allergic to fish oil. Because the same things that are in seafood are probably going to be in fishoil also.
Just try taking flaxseed oil instead... it's the same Omega-3 and has the same stuff in it just to be on the safe side.

IMAO you won't find allergens in fish oils
but you should be careful
Sea Food Allergy
What are the allergens?
Very few allergens of seafoods have been characterised, according to the medical and scientific literature. The best known allergens in seafood are the Allergen M from cod fish, and the major allergen found in crustacea. In the group of molluscs, very recently a new allergen from South African, Abalone (Perlemoen) has been found. All of these allergens are very stable and are not destroyed by cooking. As yet it has not been ascertained if some or all of these allergens are responsible for the fact that some patients are allergic to different seafood species in the different groups at the same time (possibly due to cross-allergenicity).
