Katla, raw

Katla is a freshwater fish. The figures here describe raw katla imported frozen from Bangladesh and are based on literature sources. It mainly provides protein, with 20g per 100g, alongside 2.4g of fat. The supplied data also list 530mg of calcium and 1µg of vitamin B12 per 100g.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function, while vitamin B12 is needed for normal nerve function and red blood cell formation. Preparation can change the nutrient content: added salt increases salt content, and frying adds fat and energy. Full nutrient figures for the raw fish are in the tables below.
