Fish paste is a prepared spread made from fish or shellfish. The figures here cover sardine, crab, lobster and salmon pastes. Per 100g, it provides 15g of protein, 11g of fat, 280mg of calcium and 1.1g of salt. Protein and fat are its main energy-providing nutrients.
Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Ingredients and nutrient levels can vary between products. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
