Nutritional values

With one serving, your child fills up his or her entire daily requirement of iodine and biotin and even 250 percent of the requirement of vitamin B12. The latter is essential for the formation of red blood cells. Iodine is incorporated by the thyroid gland into growth and metabolism regulating hormones, and biotin contributes to the build-up of body protein.

Look for the blue seal of the MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) when buying coalfish. It enjoys worldwide trust and stands for environmentally conscious and sustainable fishing.
