Density 76 · +1 vs Fish & seafood median

Tilefish is a lesser-known whitefish that still lands solidly in its category: at 96 calories per 100 grams it earns a Nutrient Density Score of 76 of 100, a Strong band and rank 28 of 60 among Fish & seafood, just above the category median of 75. Protein carries the score, reaching 35% of the Daily Value in the excellent tier.

Tilefish has a firm, mild flesh similar to grouper or halibut and takes well to baking or pan-searing; a 3 ounce serving works out to about 85 grams raw. Sodium is unremarkable at 53 mg per 100 g, and this is one of the less common fish to find outside a well-stocked seafood counter.
