Halibut is a fish, and the figures here describe its flesh after poaching, calculated for a preparation with milk and butter. It mainly provides protein and fat, with little carbohydrate. Per 100g, it contains 25g of protein and 5.7g of fat, including 2.7g of saturated fat. Its energy content is 648 kJ.
Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Halibut also provides iodine, which is needed to make thyroid hormones that help regulate metabolism. The milk and butter contribute to the nutritional values, so the preparation method is relevant when comparing saturated fat and energy content. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
