Fish, salmon cake or patty calories: 242 per 1 ball (85 g)
This exact USDA record reports 242 calories for 1 ball (85 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 242 calories for 1 ball at 85 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 285 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 13.7 g protein, 0.3 g fiber, and 343 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is fish, salmon, atlantic, farmed, raw, representing 49.7% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 8 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 ball 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 48–242 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 2706552: “Fish, salmon cake or patty.” 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 2706552, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cubic inch” through “1 ball” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 cubic inchUSDA-listed household measure | 17 g | 48 kcal | 2.7 g | 0.1 g | 69 mg |
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 63.8 g | 182 kcal | 10.3 g | 0.2 g | 258 mg |
| 1 ballUSDA-listed household measure | 85 g | 242 kcal | 13.7 g | 0.3 g | 343 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706552’s 85 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin D; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. 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
Vitamin D6.5 µg
≈ 33% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Potassium240 mg
≈ 5% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Tradeoff-side signals

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Fish, salmon cake or patty,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706550 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cubic inch to 1 ball
USDA assigns those measures 17 g and 85 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 48 kcal to 242 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706550
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.9 g less dietary fiber than “Fish, cake or patty.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Fish, salmon, Atlantic, farmed, raw
The source formulation has 8 input rows; Fish, salmon, Atlantic, farmed, raw supplies 49.7% 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 “salmon cake or patty” fits. Inspect FDC 2706550 when “cake or patty” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 73 more calories, 2.5 g more protein, and 5.9 g less carbohydrate than “Fish, cake or patty.”
Only this record lists Fish, salmon, Atlantic, farmed, raw; Fish, salmon, pink, raw; Salad dressing, mayonnaise, regular; Onions, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt. Only the comparison record lists Fish, cod, Atlantic, canned, solids and liquid; Potatoes, mashed, ready-to-eat; Flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached; Shortening, vegetable, household, composite. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
5 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: Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg whole; Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Fish, salmon, Atlantic, farmed, raw; Fish, salmon, pink, raw; Salad dressing, mayonnaise, regular; Onions, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; and 2 more.

Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 85 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 ball (85 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 85 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cake or patty (85 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706552 with FDC 2706550 at equal mass; use their 85 g and 85 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706552 versus FDC 2706550 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, salmon cake or patty,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 2706552 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 285 kcal per 100 g becomes 242 kcal at 85 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 ball 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: 2706552
FNDDS food code: 27250070
The scaling for FDC 2706552 can be exact while the match to “Fish, salmon cake or patty” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 85 g weight, 8-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
