About these values

The record is Atlantic cod cooked with dry heat, such as baking. The USDA record is "Fish, cod, Atlantic, cooked, dry heat" (SR Legacy, FDC ID 171956). It gives 22.83 g of protein and 105 kcal per 100 g.

Protein in a portion is its weight times the protein per 100 g, divided by 100. For 1 cod fillet: 180 × 22.83 ÷ 100 = 41.1 g. Values on this page are rounded to 0.1 g.

A packaged food's own label can differ from the USDA average. When you have the label, its numbers are the ones for that product.
