Are fish and chips high in oxalate?
Yes. High, 33 mg per 1 plate
Range 27 to 35 mg across the studies behind each ingredient
One serving of fish and chips (1 plate) has about 33 mg of oxalate, 66% of the 50 mg a day many stone clinics aim for. French fries carries 94% of it.
If your doctor has put you on a low-oxalate diet, have it with something high in calcium, like milk, yogurt or cheese. Calcium in the same meal binds oxalate in the gut, so less of it reaches your urine.
