Shark (flake), skinless fillet, raw

Uncooked flesh from various types of shark (typically Gummy, School and Black Tipped shark). Commonly known as flake.

The majority of nutrients were derived from a composite of 6 samples (2x Gummy shark, 3x School shark, 1x Black tip shark) purchased in Adelaide and Victoria; June-September, 1987. I, Se, I, F, pantothenate, tocopherols, vitamin D and folates were derived from a composite of 8 samples purchased in Melbourne in June 2000 and originating from Lakes Entrance Victoria. Note uncertainty about identification of some long chain fatty acids. Fibre is imputed. An additional sample purchased in NSW in January 2005 was analysed for fat and fatty acid composition. Note that there appears to be substantial variation in fatty acid composition and also that the species of the fish purchased were not confirmed against reference samples.
