USDA Fish records: median 178 calories per 100 g across 89 foods

Across 89 exact USDA Survey Foods records in this topic, median energy is 178 kcal per 100 grams and the central 80% runs from 109 kcal to 260 kcal. These are collection statistics, not a calorie estimate for a particular meal.

The complete collection preserves all 89 source descriptions, household measures, nutrient distributions, and FoodData Central citations so the summary can be checked against the underlying records.

What is included?

The exact descriptions define the topic.

USDA places these records in the “Fish” survey-food category. Within Feast’s broader navigation, they appear under Fish & seafood (89 records). The category label is useful for discovery, but it does not mean every record uses the same recipe, brand, cooking method, or portion.

The current collection includes Fish, flounder, grilled; Fish, trout, steamed; Fish, salmon, grilled; Fish, smoked; Fish, bass, fried; Fish, anchovy. Those examples show why the exact wording matters. The complete alphabetical catalog farther down the page preserves all 89 descriptions instead of replacing them with one generic average.

A comparatively wide central spread

Carbohydrate: 0 g calculated median

Among 89 “Fish” records, the central interval for carbohydrate extends from 0 g to 11.7 g per 100 grams. The complete observed span is 0 g to 21.7 g.

10th percentile: Fish, anchovy reports 0 g, exactly matching this calculated boundary.

90th percentile: Fish, bass, fried reports 11.7 g, exactly matching this calculated boundary.

Percentile positions describe this finite source set; they are not labels of overall food quality.

A comparatively wide central spread

Total fat: 7 g calculated median

Among 89 “Fish” records, the central interval for total fat extends from 2.1 g to 16.5 g per 100 grams. The complete observed span is 0.5 g to 20.7 g.

10th percentile: The calculated boundary falls between 1.7 g in Fish, whiting, steamed and 2.2 g in Fish, tilapia, steamed; it is not itself an observed record value.

90th percentile: The calculated boundary falls between 16.5 g in Fish, salmon, grilled and 16.6 g in Fish, salmon, baked or broiled, coated; it is not itself an observed record value.

Percentile positions describe this finite source set; they are not labels of overall food quality.

A comparatively wide central spread

Iron: 0.8 mg calculated median

Among 89 “Fish” records, the central interval for iron extends from 0.3 mg to 1.7 mg per 100 grams. The complete observed span is 0.2 mg to 4.6 mg.

10th percentile: The calculated boundary falls between 0.2 mg in Fish, flounder, steamed and 0.3 mg in Fish, perch, baked or broiled; it is not itself an observed record value.

90th percentile: The calculated boundary falls between 1.7 mg in Fish, mullet and 1.7 mg in Fish, tuna, canned; it is not itself an observed record value.

Percentile positions describe this finite source set; they are not labels of overall food quality.

The three callouts above are the widest central spreads relative to each metric’s midpoint, with a minimum scale applied so near-zero medians do not dominate. The complete table remains the primary record of all ten metrics.

Preparation language in the records

Source descriptions reveal meaningful distinctions.

The counts below report words and phrases that appear explicitly in the 89 USDA descriptions. They can help narrow a search to a closer record. They do not prove that the named preparation caused a nutrient difference, because these survey-food records are not controlled experiments.

baked

26 records use this wording, including Fish, bass, baked or broiled; Fish, bass, baked or broiled, coated; Fish, catfish, baked or broiled.

broiled

26 records use this wording, including Fish, bass, baked or broiled; Fish, bass, baked or broiled, coated; Fish, catfish, baked or broiled.

12 records use this wording, including Fish, bass, steamed; Fish, catfish, steamed; Fish, cod, steamed.

canned

5 records use this wording, including Fish, canned; Fish, mackerel, canned; Fish, salmon, canned.

raw

3 records use this wording, including Fish, raw; Fish, salmon, raw; Fish, tuna, raw.

cooked

1 record uses this wording, including Fish, tuna, cooked.

Portion context

Household measures answer a different question than 100 grams.

89 of 89 records (100%) include at least one named measure in the source data. Together those records provide 474 usable named measures.

A cup, slice, piece, sandwich, fillet, or fluid ounce can represent a different amount of food. Even two measures with the same label may have different gram weights across records. Open the closest profile and use its listed weight instead of transferring a measure from another record.

USDA’s representative source amount is also not necessarily what a visitor ate. For equal-weight comparison, use the 100-gram table. For meal estimation, match the exact description first, then match the amount, and finally account for additions or preparation details absent from the selected record.

Common named measures in this topic

Choosing a closer record

Use a sequence, not a guess disguised as precision.

  1. 01

    Match the exact description

    Look for the closest food name, preparation, additions, and context. “Fish” is the collection label; the individual description is the actual reference.

  2. 02

    Compare on equal weight

    Use the per-100-gram values when comparing two records. This keeps the denominator fixed and prevents different source-serving weights from masquerading as a food difference.

  3. 03

    Scale the closest listed measure

    Open the profile, select a named household measure when one fits, or enter a gram estimate. Treat scaled decimals as arithmetic from the source—not greater certainty about the plate.

  4. 04

    Add missing context

    Brand, recipe, cooking fat, sauce, toppings, substitutions, and edible portion can move the result. A current package label or weighed recipe may be more specific than a generic survey-food record.

Controlled contrasts

Related records worth comparing directly

These pairs passed Feast’s similarity, material-difference, and diversity screens. Each page keeps weight fixed at 100 grams, shows both exact source descriptions and formulations, and avoids treating the records as a controlled experiment.

Boundaries and provenance

What this collection can—and cannot—tell you.

This page summarizes USDA FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS) records from 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024. FNDDS supplies the nutrient profiles used for foods reported in What We Eat in America, the dietary component of NHANES. Each value here remains tied to one exact FDC record; the complete catalog provides direct links so the source can be checked rather than taken on trust.

USDA describes FNDDS nutrient profiles as average values for generic representations of foods likely consumed in the United States—not profiles of specific products. Its gram weights for portions are likewise estimates for groups of foods and may not cover every available size. That distinction matters: a database measure is evidence for scaling a plausible match, not proof that the same weight or formulation was on a visitor’s plate.

The records are not laboratory measurements of every possible “Fish” preparation. Restaurant recipes change, packaged products are reformulated, homemade ingredient ratios vary, and cooking can change water weight. A photo also cannot reliably reveal every hidden ingredient or gram weight. The central range describes variation among the records selected for this topic, not uncertainty around a single meal.

The median is not a default calorie count. The 10th and 90th percentiles are not lower and upper recommendations. The minimum and maximum are not promises that every real version falls inside the observed span. These statistics are tools for navigating a source collection while keeping the denominator, record name, and normal recipe variation visible.

Nutrient values do not establish whether a food is appropriate for a particular person or condition. This wiki does not diagnose deficiencies, prescribe targets, or replace advice from a qualified professional. If accuracy matters for an allergy, medical diet, or clinician-directed limit, use verified ingredient information and the guidance relevant to that situation.

Why no overall ranking appears.

A record can report more protein and also differ in sodium, fiber, energy, fat, portion weight, or ingredients. Choosing one metric as a universal score would hide those tradeoffs and imply a value judgment the data cannot support. The alphabetical catalog and side-by-side statistics are intentionally descriptive.

For primary-source context, read USDA’s FNDDS 2021–2023 documentation. For Feast’s import, filtering, portion-scaling, Daily Value, and uncertainty rules, read the nutrition-page methodology. For an exact item, use its profile and FoodData Central link rather than citing this collection-level summary alone.

Common questions

Using the “Fish” collection responsibly

Is the median the expected nutrition for my food?

No. It is the middle value among these 89 source records on a 100-gram basis. Your recipe, brand, preparation, and portion may align more closely with one specific record or may fall outside this collection.

Why compare 100 grams instead of one serving?

Source servings can have different gram weights and measure labels. Holding weight at 100 grams makes concentration comparable. After choosing a record, its household measures are more useful for estimating the amount actually eaten.

Does the upper end of a nutrient range mean “better”?

No. The position only describes that nutrient within this source collection. It does not evaluate the whole food, determine an appropriate portion, or account for an individual’s needs.

Which number should I log?

Start with the record whose exact wording most closely matches the food. Use a listed measure or gram estimate, then add missing recipe or preparation context. Keep the result as an estimate unless you have a current label or weighed recipe.

Decision support from the exact records on this page

Turn source data into a better next decision

These conclusions and reading paths are computed from 11 exact records behind Fish source topic. Links are chosen by record identity, controlled contrast, formulation input, nutrient spread, or serving context—not by loose keyword similarity.

Equal-weight result

Fish, bass, fried is higher in carbohydrate per 100 g

Fish, bass, fried reports 11.7 g versus 0 g for Fish, anchovy: a 11.7 g difference when both are normalized to 100 g.

Inspect the underlying evidence

The denominator changes the answer

Fish, bass, fried is denser; Fish, mullet is higher in its source amount

Fish, bass, fried reports 11.7 g per 100 g and 10.5 g in USDA source amount (90 g). Fish, mullet reports a lower 7.8 g per 100 g but a higher 10.9 g in USDA source amount (140 g).

Choose the record before reading the number

Fish, bass, baked or broiled and Fish, bass, fried are not interchangeable

The page keeps both records at the same 100 g denominator and makes Preparation wording (baked, roasted, or broiled versus fried) the explicit record-description contrast. It does not show that the wording difference caused a nutrient difference. Pick the description that matches the food in front of you rather than averaging away the distinction.
