Monkfish, flesh only, raw

Monkfish is a type of fish, and the figures here refer to its raw flesh only. Per 100g, it provides 16g of protein, 0.4g of fat, 0.1g of saturated fat and 330mg of phosphorus. It also supplies potassium.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, while phosphorus helps maintain bones and teeth. The raw flesh contains little fat or salt, which may be relevant for people monitoring these in their diet. Added salt, sauces and cooking fats can change the nutritional content of the prepared dish. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
