Bloater, flesh only, grilled

Bloater is salted and smoked herring. The figures here describe the flesh only, after grilling. It mainly provides protein and fat, along with vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 24g of protein, 17g of fat, 1.8g of salt and 25µg of vitamin D.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin D helps regulate calcium and phosphate in the body, which are needed for bones, teeth and muscles. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. The fish also contains saturated fat, which may be relevant to those watching their saturated fat intake.
