Halibut, flesh only, raw

Halibut is a marine fish. The figures here describe its raw flesh only, without bones or other parts. It mainly provides protein, with relatively little fat. Per 100g, it contains 22g of protein, 1.9g of fat, including 0.3g of saturated fat, and 40µg of iodine. It also provides several vitamins and minerals.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while iodine is needed to make thyroid hormones, which help regulate metabolism. The low saturated fat content may be relevant to people monitoring their intake. Cooking methods and added ingredients can change the fat, salt and energy content.
