This entry describes takeaway cod coated in batter and fried in dripping, an animal fat. It provides protein, fat and carbohydrate. Per 100g, it contains 17g of protein, 15g of fat, including 8.2g of saturated fat, and 11g of carbohydrate. The figures describe the battered, fried product rather than plain cod.
Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Cod also provides iodine, which the body needs to make thyroid hormones. The dripping used for frying contributes saturated fat, which is worth noting for people monitoring their saturated fat intake. Full nutrient figures, including energy, salt, vitamins and minerals, are in the tables below.
