Turbot is a source of proteins, selenium, phosphorus, vitamin B12, and niacin. Turbot is a semi-fatty fish (3.6 g/100 g edible portion). It is rich in high biological value proteins. Its content of vitamin B12 and niacin may be somewhat less relevant compared to other fish. In any case, the recommended daily intakes for vitamin B12 are covered with one serving and 40% of the recommended intake for vitamin B3 or niacin in women. In terms of minerals, turbot is a source of selenium and phosphorus. Selenium contributes to the maintenance of hair and nails under normal conditions; phosphorus contributes to the maintenance of bones under normal conditions. Turbot belongs to the group of "luxury" fish, nowadays popularized by aquaculture contributions. The firmness and delicacy of its flesh allow for all kinds of culinary applications. The fact that it has practically no bones makes it even more attractive, especially for those consumers who are more hesitant about fish, such as children and the elderly.
