Bombay duck

Bombay duck is a fish, described here in its salted, dried form, also known as dried lottiya. It mainly provides protein, with 62g per 100g, alongside 4g of fat. It also contains minerals, including 1390mg of calcium and 19mg of iron per 100g. These figures relate to the dried product rather than fresh fish.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth, while iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. As this fish is salted, its salt content is relevant for people monitoring salt intake, although no salt figure is supplied. Full figures for the nutrients reported are in the tables below.
