Sea bass
Sea bass, or branzino, is the firm, delicate white fish of the Mediterranean coast, usually farmed today and sold whole or as fillets. It provides protein and the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA, which contribute to the normal function of the heart. Roast or grill it whole with lemon and herbs, bake it in a salt crust, or pan-sear the fillets skin-side down; it needs little more than olive oil. Like most medium-sized sea fish it carries some mercury, so alternate it with smaller species through the week.
Polyols
SorbitolNot a source — upper-bound estimate
Source: Upper-bound estimate (Ciqual 2025)
What this means
This is sea bass's own sorbitol content, not a recipe amount. Sorbitol is a polyol — a type of sugar alcohol — calculated from two official food-composition databases, Germany's Bundeslebensmittelschlüssel (BLS 4.0) and the French Ciqual table. Recipes are evaluated separately against a 0.20 g threshold (a per-serving cutoff from Varney et al. 2017, Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, applied to one reference serving of the recipe) — an ingredient's own figure isn't directly comparable to that number, since a recipe combines several ingredients in different amounts. This describes the food, not a guarantee about how your body will respond to it.
Sugars
Per 100 g
Total fructoseAt most 0.2 g
Excess fructoseNot a source — upper-bound estimate
Source: Upper-bound estimate (Ciqual 2025)
What this means
These are sea bass's own fructose figures, not a recipe amount. Total fructose is how much fructose the food contains. Excess fructose is fructose minus glucose, counted only when positive, since glucose helps the body absorb fructose — it is the figure behind the "Low fructose" filter and the recipe figures. When measured, both come from two official food-composition databases, Germany's Bundeslebensmittelschlüssel (BLS 4.0) and the French Ciqual table. Recipes are evaluated separately against a 0.40 g threshold of excess fructose (a per-serving cutoff from Varney et al. 2017, Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, applied to one reference serving of the recipe) — an ingredient's own figure isn't directly comparable to that number, since a recipe combines several ingredients in different amounts. This describes the food, not a guarantee about how your body will respond to it.
