Need to be determined based on the cause of urticaria.
If the hives attack is caused by an allergy to seafood or fish and shrimp, do not eat it, especially during the acute attack. At this time, the body is more sensitive, and the protein contained in seafood foods belongs to heterogeneous proteins, which is more likely to cause allergies and aggravate urticaria.

If it is clear that the onset of urticaria has nothing to do with eating seafood, then you can eat it without bitterness. For example, urticaria is caused by exposure to pollen or dust mites, and even if you eat seafood, in most cases it will not have much impact on the condition.
It is currently believed that most episodes of urticaria (especially chronic urticaria) are not related to food. If there is no seafood allergy before, it has not caused aggravation of symptoms after ingesting seafood, and it can be eaten in normal moderation.
