Fish and seafood nutrition: compare foods and portions

Explore fish and seafood profiles with distinctions between raw, baked, canned, salted and smoked products. Edible fish weight excludes shells, bones and other parts you discard.

Quick answer

Cod and salmon use baked references, shrimp is boiled, tuna and mussels are canned, and herring and mackerel are preserved products. Trout records use uncooked references. Sardines represent an average of oil and tomato-sauce products. A specific label is a closer match when those details differ.

Open a food profile

Each profile includes an example portion, the exact source record, food-specific weighing notes and meal ideas.

Use fish and seafood in a meal

Pair seafood with vegetables and a grain or potato side, and count butter, oil and sauces. This extract does not quantify omega-3, mercury, sodium or micronutrients. Follow local fish advice for pregnancy and other specific needs, using the species and product information available.

Make your estimate easier to review

Write down whether the amount is raw, cooked, drained or edible weight. Keep additions such as oil, cheese and sauce with the meal. For a mixed recipe, total the ingredients and divide by the finished yield or reasonably equal servings.

Nutrition values and photo results are estimates. Check ingredients and portions before saving a meal.

Frequently asked questions

Are the amounts in this table recommended portions?

No. The comparison uses 100 g edible weights. Each individual profile also scales an example serving, which illustrates the arithmetic rather than prescribing an amount to eat.

Why might my label differ from this table?

The exact variety, product, preparation, water content and labelling convention can differ. Use a current product label for the packaged food you actually eat.
