Pollock, Alaskan, flesh only, steamed

Alaskan pollock is a white fish. The figures here describe the flesh only, cooked by steaming. It mainly provides protein, with a small amount of fat, as well as vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 27g of protein, 1.2g of fat, 3.9µg of vitamin B12 and 94µg of iodine.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin B12 supports normal nerve function and red blood cell formation, while iodine is needed to make thyroid hormones. Steamed pollock contains little saturated fat, but added butter, sauces or salt can change the nutritional content of the finished dish. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
