Fish
Fish is aquatic animal flesh commonly cooked by grilling, frying, steaming, poaching, or inclusion in soups and stews.
About Fish
Fish, as an ingredient, means the edible flesh of aquatic animals commonly prepared for food. It includes many species, sizes, cuts, and fat levels, so it may be sold whole, as fillets, steaks, portions, or minced flesh.
Flesh colour, firmness, and flavour range from delicate and pale to strongly flavoured and dark. The generic label does not identify a particular species, habitat, cut, or processing method, so sensory details cannot be fixed more narrowly.
Fish is grilled, fried, baked, steamed, poached, smoked, dried, or added to soups, stews, curries, and other dishes. Fresh, frozen, canned, salted, and fermented forms are distinct products; processing and preparation substantially change appearance, texture, and flavour.

Fish nutrition & diet
Fish nutritional value
Fish, NFS
Per 100 g of the edible portion in the recorded USDA food form.
- Calories
- 238kcal
- Protein
- 19.3g
- Carbs
- 6.6g
- Fat
- 14.5g
Reference values per 100 g for the displayed USDA form. Varieties, recipes, brands and preparation can differ.
Portions & preparation
“Fish” needs species, cut, and preparation established before selecting a reference. Match the edible flesh rather than bones or inedible parts, and distinguish raw, cooked, dried, smoked, salted, canned, battered, fried, and sauced forms.
Compare the right form: Match the identified species, edible cut, and state—raw, cooked, dried, smoked, salted, canned, or coated—rather than a generic fish entry.
Diet considerations
Fish is animal-derived, but the broad label does not establish species or processing. Compatibility changes with breading, cereal ingredients, dairy, sauces, stock, curing, smoking, or mixed dishes. Plain fish and prepared products may have different portion-dependent carbohydrate patterns because accompanying ingredients determine them.

What these diet assessments mean
- Vegan · Typically incompatible
- The ingredient profile identifies an animal-derived food or derivative.
- Vegetarian · Typically incompatible
- The profile identifies animal flesh, seafood or a derivative excluded by a vegetarian diet.
- Pescatarian · Typically compatible
- Seafood fits this pescatarian definition. Added meat-based stock or other ingredients would need checking separately.
- Keto · May be compatible
- The plain form may fit a carbohydrate-restricted diet. Check the portion, added sugar, coatings and sauces against the nutrition values above.
- Paleo · May be compatible
- May fit a paleo pattern, depending on the cut or form, processing and added ingredients.
- Low-carb · May be compatible
- The plain form may fit a carbohydrate-restricted diet. Check the portion, added sugar, coatings and sauces against the nutrition values above.
- Halal · Not established
- Sourcing, processing and any applicable certification have not been verified. A food name alone does not establish halal status.
- Kosher · Not established
- Sourcing, processing and any applicable certification have not been verified. A food name alone does not establish kosher status.
For the plain ingredient · Awaiting review. Diet compatibility is not allergy suitability or halal/kosher certification. Keto and low-carb depend on the portion.
