Coley, flesh only, poached

Coley is a white fish, and the figures here describe the flesh only, cooked by poaching. It mainly provides protein, with 25g per 100g, and contains 1.5g of fat. It also provides vitamins and minerals, including 4.8µg of vitamin B12 and 154µg of iodine per 100g.

Protein is needed to maintain and repair body tissues. Vitamin B12 supports normal nerve function and red blood cell formation, while iodine is needed to make thyroid hormones. Coley contains little saturated fat, although sauces or other additions can change the fat and salt content of a meal. Full nutrient figures for the poached fish are in the tables below.
