Density 76 · +1 vs Fish & seafood medianSheepshead, a striped-toothed panfish popular with anglers, scores well for its calorie count: at 108 calories per 100 grams it reaches a Nutrient Density Score of 76 of 100, a Strong result and rank 29 of 60 in Fish & seafood, edging past the category median of 75. Protein is the standout, at 40% of the Daily Value in the excellent tier.
Its firm white flesh is usually filleted and grilled, baked, or fried whole, similar to how you would treat porgy or snapper; a 3 ounce serving works out to about 85 grams raw. Sodium is low at 71 mg per 100 g, and it is generally caught rather than farmed, so availability depends on region and season.
