Sprats, fried, weighed with bones

Sprats are small fish. The figures here describe fried sprats weighed with their bones, rather than boneless fish. They mainly provide fat and protein, with 21g of fat and 15g of protein per 100g. The fat content includes 3.2g of saturated fat. They also provide 5µg of vitamin B12.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while vitamin B12 helps maintain normal nerve function and the formation of red blood cells. Frying adds fat, so the cooking method is relevant when considering energy and fat intake. The saturated fat content may also be worth noting for people monitoring their intake.
