The purpose of this study was to measure the total lipid and cholesterol content and fatty acid profile of chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), Dover sole (Microstomus pacificus), and sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria). All three species of fish were caught off the coast of Oregon in late summer, 1987. Salmon contained 6.95% total lipid, Dover sole contained 1.03%, and sablefish contained 5.72%. For the fatter fish these values were considerably lower than the average values found in literature. The two fatter fish contained approximately 1 g of n-3 fatty acids per 100 g wet weight, again lower than the average values found in literature. This study demonstrates the need to increase the information available about seasonal variation in lipid content of finfish so that accurate dietary recommendations can be made.
