Finfish and Shellfish Products

Category guide

264 entries of freshwater and salted fish, shrimp, crab, oysters, and other seafood. Fish is the leading source of long-chain omega-3 fats (EPA and DHA) in this database, alongside high-quality protein, vitamin D, and selenium. Fatty fish like salmon and mackerel separate clearly from lean white fish on the fat and calorie columns.

Tips for choosing

• Salmon, mackerel, herring lead the omega-3-related fat columns; cod and tilapia sit at the lean end.
• Shellfish is high in protein and minerals but cholesterol-rich — context matters less than portion.
• Canned and salted seafood can be far higher in sodium than fresh — check before comparing.
• Fish is one of the few natural food sources of vitamin D.
