Halibut
What it is
Halibut is a fish food. This reference combines Atlantic and Pacific halibut cooked with dry heat.
What it does
For the named reference food, USDA lists 111 kcal, 22.5 g protein and 1.61 g total fat per 100 g edible portion. The table gives additional nutrients for that same food form. These figures describe composition, not an effect on a disease or a recommended serving.
Research context and ingredient forms
Reference food: Fish, halibut, Atlantic and Pacific, cooked, dry heat. These are historical SR Legacy data from the April 2018 release, published in FoodData Central in 2019. A different variety, preparation, water content, or commercial recipe can change the result. For a matching food, a portion estimate scales each value by edible portion grams divided by 100.
Using this information
The combined record is a reference average rather than an analysis of the exact fillet purchased. Sauce, breading, and frying oil need separate accounting.
Considerations
Fish is a major food allergen. People with a fish allergy need advice appropriate to their diagnosed allergy; a nutrient table does not establish that a particular species is safe for them.
