Red snapper, flesh only, fried in sunflower oil, weighed with bones and skin

Red snapper is a fish, described here as flesh fried in sunflower oil, with the weight including bones and skin. The figures therefore refer to 100g weighed with bones and skin, rather than flesh alone. It mainly provides protein, with 13g protein and 1.6g fat on this basis. It also contains 1.5µg vitamin D and 33µg iodine.

Protein contributes to the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and supports bones and muscles, while iodine is needed to make thyroid hormones. For people monitoring fat or salt intake, the cooking method and any added salt are relevant when considering the meal as a whole. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
