Health benefits of Cod

Cod is the leanest protein available, meaning the protein to calorie ratio beats out any other food. Cod is a low fat flaky white meat fish that is a good source of protein, phosphorus, niacin, and Vitamin B-12. An individual 100 g (raw) portion of cod has less than 90 calories, less than one gram of fat, and 17 grams of protein.
