Plaice, flesh only, raw

Plaice is a white fish. The figures here describe its raw flesh only, based on samples of frozen and chilled products. Per 100g, it provides 16g of protein, 1.2g of fat, 0.22g of saturated fat and 35µg of selenium. It also supplies vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B12, phosphorus and iodine.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while selenium contributes to normal thyroid function. The fat and salt content of a prepared plaice dish will depend on how it is cooked and what is added, such as butter, batter or salt.
