The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 122 calories for 1 small/regular fillet at 140 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 87 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 28.8 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 258 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is fish, haddock, raw, representing 99.8% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.

The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 small/regular fillet at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.

The household measures attached to this record span roughly 15–365 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.

Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.

Record-specific decision brief

What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you

This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2706259: “Fish, haddock, steamed.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.

01 · Portion arithmetic

Three weights, one fixed composition

For FDC 2706259, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cubic inch” through “1 whole fish, any size” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

02 · Fixed-weight context

Where 100 grams sits inside Fish

The comparison set contains 89 exact records in the Fish USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2706259’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2706259’s 140 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Potassium; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.

Strength-side signals

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Fish, haddock, steamed,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706256 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 cubic inch to 1 whole fish, any size

    USDA assigns those measures 17 g and 420 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 15 kcal to 365 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2706256

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.3 g less total fat than “Fish, haddock, grilled.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Fish, haddock, raw

    The source formulation has 2 input rows; Fish, haddock, raw supplies 99.8% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

05 · Exact-record choice

Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name

Keep this record when “haddock; steamed” fits. Inspect FDC 2706256 when “haddock; grilled” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

The percentages above apply to FDC 2706259’s 140 g reference amount. FDA Daily Values are general label references, not individualized energy or medical targets. Read the FDA explanation ↗

Why FDC 2706259 has no protein percentage here: Feast reports 28.8 g, but does not present grams divided by 50 as FDA protein %DV; applicable label rules account for protein quality and regulatory context.

Source-serving signals

What stands out in this record

These 1 calculated observation describe FDC 2706259 at 140 g—not a measured or recommended plate.

  • The representative USDA portion contains 258 mg sodium, about 11% of the Daily Value used on U.S. labels.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2706259 to 2 source inputs totaling 100.2 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Fish, haddock, steamed” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

2 listed components

The largest listed inputs by source weight are Fish, haddock, raw, Salt, table. The order and weights below come from the standardized USDA formulation, so they offer context for this exact database entry.

100.2 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2706259, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Fish” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Plain-English read

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 21 less calories, 2.3 g less total fat, and 110 mg less sodium than “Fish, haddock, grilled.”

Only the comparison record lists Oil or table fat, NFS. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

3 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.

Formulation evidence

The listed formulations differ

The formulation rows differ, but the source data do not isolate which component caused any nutrient difference. Input weights describe the standardized formulation—not final plated proportions.

Shared listed inputs: Fish, haddock, raw; Salt, table.

Listed only in the comparison: Oil or table fat, NFS.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets match

This record’s reference amount is 140 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 small/regular fillet (140 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 140 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 small/regular fillet (140 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706259 with FDC 2706256 at equal mass; use their 140 g and 140 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2706259 versus FDC 2706256 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

Uncertainty, made actionable

What can change this estimate?

This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with portion size, species or cut, cooking method, breading, butter, or sauce.

For “Fish, haddock, steamed,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 01

    portion size

    When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.

  2. 02

    species or cut

    Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.

  3. 03

    cooking method

    Match the method named by the source—such as baked, fried, boiled, or grilled—before scaling. Preparation can change both water content and the ingredients retained in the finished food.

  4. 04

    breading, butter, or sauce

    Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.

How we estimated this

The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point

FDC 2706259 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 87 kcal per 100 g becomes 122 kcal at 140 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.

About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” The separately listed 1 small/regular fillet has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.

Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024

FoodData Central ID: 2706259

FNDDS food code: 26117160

The scaling for FDC 2706259 can be exact while the match to “Fish, haddock, steamed” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 140 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
