It also supplies vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B12 at 2µg and selenium at 70µg per 100g. These values refer to the fish before cooking or the addition of other ingredients.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin B12 supports normal nerve function and red blood cell formation, while selenium contributes to normal thyroid function.
