For meat and fish the numbers that matter most are protein, saturated fat and salt. The tables below set each against age-appropriate guidance.
A fillet (about 120g) provides about 28.8g of complete protein, supplying the amino acids the body needs for growth and repair. Because children need less than adults, that portion covers a large share of a younger child's daily protein.
Sea Bass Fillet is naturally high in fat, at about 3.0g per portion, though most of it is unsaturated. Only around 0.84g is saturated and there is 0g of added fat.
Percentages are share of the daily Nutrient Reference Value (NRV). Under UK and EU rules a food is a source of a nutrient at 15% NRV per 100g and high in it at 30%.
These tables show how the nutrients compare to daily needs across different ages, using UK Reference Nutrient Intakes (RNIs). This differs from the source of and high in labels above, which use the single adult figure (NRV) set for food packaging. Children's needs are lower, so a portion goes further.
Vitamin B12 supports red blood cell formation and a healthy nervous system, and is found almost only in animal foods. A fillet (about 120g) contains 3ug. Because children need less than adults, that same portion covers a bigger share of a younger child's daily target.
Selenium helps protect cells from damage and supports the immune system. A fillet (about 120g) contains 43ug. Because children need less than adults, that same portion covers a bigger share of a younger child's daily target.
Vitamin B6 helps the body release energy from food and supports the nervous system. A fillet (about 120g) contains 0.48mg. Because children need less than adults, that same portion covers a bigger share of a younger child's daily target.
Phosphorus works with calcium to build strong bones and teeth. A fillet (about 120g) contains 240mg. Because children need less than adults, that same portion covers a bigger share of a younger child's daily target.
Niacin (B3) helps release energy from food and keeps skin and the nervous system healthy. A fillet (about 120g) contains 2.4mg. Because children need less than adults, that same portion covers a bigger share of a younger child's daily target.
