About Fried white fish

Fried white fish is a popular dish found in various cuisines worldwide, including American, British, and Asian culinary traditions. Typically made with lean, mild-flavored fish such as cod, haddock, or pollock, it is coated in batter or breadcrumbs and fried until golden.

A 3-ounce serving of fried white fish provides approximately 15-20 grams of protein, selenium, and significant amounts of B vitamins such as B12 and niacin.
