Is striped bass a healthy food?

Striped bass is generally considered a healthy food. It is a lean fish packed with protein, vitamins and minerals. A single serving of striped bass (about 6 ounces) provides:

- Calories: 175

- Protein: 36 grams

- Fat: 4 grams

- Saturated fat: 1 gram

- Cholesterol: 75 milligrams

- Sodium: 180 milligrams

- Potassium: 480 milligrams

- Selenium: 100% of the RDI (Recommended Daily Intake)

- Vitamin B12: 50% of the RDI

- Niacin: 25% of the RDI

Striped bass is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential fatty acids that the body cannot produce on its own. Omega-3 fatty acids are important for heart health, brain development, and immune function.

The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) recommends eating at least 8 ounces of seafood per week, and fish like striped bass are a great way to meet this recommendation.
