Plaice, flesh only, steamed, fillets weighed with bones and skin

Plaice is a white fish, and this entry describes its steamed flesh only. The figures are given per 100g of fillet weighed with bones and skin, with an adjustment for the edible flesh. On this basis, it provides 15g of protein, 1.1g of fat, 0.33g of salt and 31µg of selenium. Protein is its main energy-providing nutrient.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Selenium contributes to normal thyroid function and helps protect cells from damage. For people monitoring fat or salt intake, any butter, sauces or salt added during preparation would need to be considered separately. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
