why doesn’t the ocean contain the allergens of the seafood living inside it?

I am severely allergic to shellfish, yet when I accidentally drink some seawater I don’t get an allergic reaction. How come the millions of fish don’t just contaminate the water with their allergens?

Concentration. When you bath in the ocean do you constantly step on fish or are they everywhere? There’s very little fish per liter (small concentration), but the ocean is huge, so there’s still many fishes.
