Fish fingers, cod, fried in sunflower oil

Cod fish fingers are pieces of cod with a coating; the figures here describe them fried in sunflower oil. They provide protein from the fish, carbohydrate mainly from the coating, and fat from the ingredients and frying oil. Per 100g, they contain 13g of protein, 20g of carbohydrate, 13g of fat and 0.72g of salt.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Cod fish fingers also provide iodine, which is needed to make thyroid hormones, and vitamin B12, which supports normal nerve function and red blood cell formation. The salt and fat content are relevant for people monitoring salt or energy intake. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
