Plaice, in batter, fried in retail blend oil

Plaice is a white fish. The form described here is coated in batter and fried in a blend of oils used by fish and chip shops. It provides protein, fat and carbohydrate. Per 100g, it contains 15g of protein, 17g of fat, including 8.7g of saturated fat, and 12g of carbohydrate. These figures are based on samples purchased from fish and chip shops.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Batter and frying add carbohydrate and fat, so the nutritional composition differs from plain plaice. The saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their saturated fat intake. Full nutrient figures, including energy and salt content, are provided in the tables below.
