About Mollusks, clam, mixed species, cooked, breaded and fried
These shellfish are a rich source of lean protein, offering about 14 grams per 100-gram serving, which supports muscle maintenance and overall body repair. They also provide essential minerals such as iron, zinc, and selenium, which play key roles in immune function, oxygen transport, and antioxidant defense. While they are relatively low in calories compared to many fried foods, the breading and frying process increases the fat content to 11 grams per serving, with a portion coming from oils used in cooking. For those monitoring sodium intake, it's worth noting that breaded and fried preparations can be higher in salt, especially if pre-seasoned or served with dipping sauces.
In the kitchen, these breaded and fried shellfish are often enjoyed as a crispy appetizer or main dish, sometimes paired with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or in seafood platters. They can be a flavorful addition to salads or sandwiches for a satisfying crunch. However, due to the frying process, they are best enjoyed occasionally within a balanced diet that includes a variety of cooking methods such as steaming, grilling, or baking to keep overall fat and calorie intake in check. For those looking to maximize their nutritional benefits, opting for steamed or boiled versions can provide similar protein and mineral content with fewer added fats.
