What causes the difference

The portion size is the same, but the ingredients and preparation differ.

Fish: Baked → deep-friedSauce: Lemon juice → Tartar sauceCoating: + Heavy batter
  • Plain baked cod is one of the leanest proteins you can eat — about 105 kcal per 100 g, almost all of it protein.
  • The same cod in heavy batter through the deep fryer nearly doubles: the coating is a sponge that carries flour and frying oil into every bite (fish-and-chips cod runs ~198 kcal per 100 g).
  • The dip finishes the job — a spoon of tartar sauce is mayonnaise, where a squeeze of lemon is essentially zero.
