Cod: nutrition per 100 g and example portion

Reference preparation: oven-baked cod reference. The exact source name is “Cod, oven-baked” (Fineli food 33478). Available carbohydrate excludes fiber and is not the same measure as US Total Carbohydrate.

Values are rounded after scaling. A small reported amount may round below 0.1 g; a missing value is marked Not available rather than treated as zero. This selected extract does not include sugar, sodium or micronutrient amounts; the full Fineli database contains information beyond these tables.

How to weigh cod

This source describes oven-baked cod, so weigh the cooked edible fish for the table. A raw fillet, battered cod and a fish pie are different entries. Remove discarded bones and skin before measuring the serving.

Calculate your own cod portion

For the 150 g example, multiply the source amounts by 150 ÷ 100 = 1.5. The unrounded energy calculation is 89.3 × 1.5 = 133.95 kcal, displayed as approximately 134 kcal. Use the same factor for protein, available carbohydrate, fat and fiber.

For another amount, replace 150 with your own edible weight. Keep the preparation as oven-baked cod reference; if your food is prepared differently, choose a matching reference or calculate its recipe instead.

How preparation changes the estimate

Plain cod has a different fat profile from oily fish, but a butter sauce or breadcrumb coating changes the dish. If you start from raw package values, calculate the whole recipe and its cooked yield instead of switching to this cooked reference halfway through.

Meal ideas using cod

Use these combinations as menu ideas and adjust the amounts to your appetite and preferences. Each added ingredient belongs in the complete meal estimate.

  • Serve cod with boiled potatoes, peas and a measured yogurt sauce.
  • Add cooked cod to a tomato and white-bean stew as part of the recipe.
