Hello,
I agree with your aunt. I do not know of any contraindication to eating fish if the patient has gout or cellulitis.
One way to monitor the progress of cellulitis is to outline the swelling with a marker and follow it every day.
If you Dad's cellulitis is getting better, you will see that the area of swelling gets smaller within the area of the outline.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
