8 Fish That Are Stuffed To The Gills With Protein

Tuna

Four ounces contain 33 grams of protein and 225 calories. And don’t work yourself up into a panic about the mercury in tuna fish.

Anchovy

So four ounces has 52 grams of protein for 378. THAT SAID, you’re definitely not going to eat four ounces unless you want to back out of a date or something.

Coho Salmon

This low-calorie, high-omega-3 wild fish houses 31 grams of protein for only 209 calories. Its flavor is intensely fresh and almost sweet, so don’t do anything to ruin it.

Trout

Anglers love it; fish counters don’t always carry it. But when you see trout (or catch it), savor it. The flesh is supremely tender and takes well to a trip to the smoker.

Snapper

You may see red snapper at your grocery store, but all varieties share a similar nutritional profile: 30 grams of protein and 145 calories for every four ounces.

Tilapia

What tilapia lacks in flavor, it makes up for in an amazing protein-to-calorie ratio. In one fillet, you’ll find 23 grams of protein for only 111 calories.

Bluefish

Not to be confused with bluefin tuna, raw bluefish is more of light purple than a deep red. Cook the meaty flesh and it turns white and flaky.

Pollock

Not to be confused with bluefin tuna, raw bluefish is more of light purple than a deep red. Cook the meaty flesh and it turns white and flaky.
