Nutritional and economic comparisons of seafood

Overview

Recent reports have compared the nutritional profiles and economic value of various seafood options. Tilapia is being promoted as a high-protein, low-cost alternative to salmon, noted for containing approximately 26g of protein per 100g of cooked meat. It is described as a highly nutritious and affordable source, with significant market demand in the United States, Europe, Japan, and China.

In contrast, while pangasius is noted for its affordability and ease of preparation, experts highlight its nutritional limitations. Specifically, it is identified as a lean fish with significantly lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids compared to species such as salmon, sardines, or herring.
