Measuring cod

The records are Atlantic cod: raw, and cooked with dry heat. Per hundred grams, raw cod is 82 kcal and cooked cod is 105 kcal. The cooked figure is higher per gram because the fish holds less water. Weigh the fish in the state you log it and do not mix the two. The cooked record is cod cooked with dry heat, so log any cooking oil or butter as its own entry. Breaded or battered fillets, frozen fish sticks, salt cod and Pacific cod are different products and are not covered. Fillet sizes vary a lot, so a scale gives a closer number than counting fillets.

Common questions

How many calories in a cod fillet?

A raw Atlantic cod fillet is 189 kcal at 231 g in the USDA row. A cooked fillet is 189 kcal at 180 g. These are the USDA portion weights for each record, so weigh your own piece.

How many calories in 100 g of cod, raw or cooked?

Raw cod is 82 kcal per 100 g and cooked cod is 105 kcal per 100 g. Use the row that matches the state of the fish on your scale.

Why does cooked cod have more calories per 100 g than raw?

Cooked cod holds less water per gram, so each 100 g carries more energy: 82 kcal raw and 105 kcal cooked. The cooking itself adds nothing unless you add oil, butter or batter.

Do cod calories include breading or oil?

No. The cooked record is named cod cooked with dry heat, and breading is not part of it. Log oil, butter, breading and sauce as separate entries. Breaded fillets from a box are a different product and are not covered here.
