Parrot fish is a marine fish, and the nutritional information here describes its flesh in the raw state. It mainly provides protein, with little fat and no carbohydrate. Per 100g, it contains 20g of protein, 0.4g of fat and 353 kJ of energy. It also supplies vitamin B12, at 3µg per 100g, alongside other vitamins and minerals.
Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin B12 supports normal nerve function and the formation of red blood cells. Cooking methods and added ingredients can change the energy, fat and salt content of the finished dish, so these raw values may not reflect a prepared meal.
