The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 209 calories for USDA reference amount at 135 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 155 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 15.9 g protein, 1.1 g fiber, and 894 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is fish, croaker, atlantic, raw, representing 47.7% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 10 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 slice with sauce answer different portion questions. Their values are scaled independently from the same per-100-gram source record.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 209–330 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 2706868: “Fried fish with sauce, Puerto Rican style.” 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 2706868, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 slice (4" x 3-1/2" x 1/2") with sauce” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 101.3 g | 157 kcal | 11.9 g | 0.8 g | 670 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 135 g | 209 kcal | 15.9 g | 1.1 g | 894 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706868’s 135 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Magnesium; 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 “Fried fish with sauce, Puerto Rican style,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706869 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 135 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 101.3–168.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 157 kcal and 262 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706869
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.5 g less carbohydrate than “Lobster with sauce, Puerto Rican style.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

Plain-English read
The six displayed nutrient values are close under a conservative materiality screen. Small differences remain exact source values, not evidence that one food is preferable.
Only this record lists Beverages, water, tap, drinking; Olives, pickled, canned or bottled, green; Pimento, canned; Vinegar, cider. Only the comparison record lists Crustaceans, lobster, northern, raw; Peppers, bell, green, raw; Garlic, raw; Tomatoes, red, ripe, raw, year round average. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
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: Olive oil; Onions, raw; Tomato products, canned, sauce; Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Beverages, water, tap, drinking; Olives, pickled, canned or bottled, green; Pimento, canned; Vinegar, cider; and 2 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Crustaceans, lobster, northern, raw; Peppers, bell, green, raw; Garlic, raw; Tomatoes, red, ripe, raw, year round average; and 2 more.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 135 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 slice with sauce (213 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 121 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (242 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706868 with FDC 2706869 at equal mass; use their 135 g and 121 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706868 versus FDC 2706869 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 amount of absorbed frying fat, portion size, species or cut, cooking method.
For “Fried fish with sauce, Puerto Rican style,” resolve amount of absorbed frying fat first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
amount of absorbed frying fat
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
- 02
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.
- 03
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.
- 04
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.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2706868 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 155 kcal per 100 g becomes 209 kcal at 135 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.” We display it as a USDA reference amount because it is a database comparison point—not a suggested portion or a claim about what most people should eat.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2706868
FNDDS food code: 27451010
The scaling for FDC 2706868 can be exact while the match to “Fried fish with sauce, Puerto Rican style” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 135 g weight, 10-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
