Fish and shellfish in general are a boon for B12, Blechman says.
“B12 content varies depending on the type of fish, but many contain at least 100 percent of the daily value of B12, if not more,” she says.Clams are “among the greatest B12 meals,” says Winnifred. “They have extraordinarily high B12 concentrations; 100 grams of clams have 84.1 mcg of B12, or more than 1,400 percent of the daily required dose.”
Clams are also a fantastic source of other necessary minerals including iron, zinc, and protein.
Salmon is a common seafood staple, and has plenty of B12 in combo with its other health benefits. Winnifred says that along with plenty of selenium, vitamin D, and protein, salmon has 6 mcg per 100 grams, or more than 200 percent of the daily required amount.
Not a fan of salmon or clams? Some other great seafood options that all pack 100 percent of the daily recommended amount are for B12 are sardines, trout, and tuna, Blechman says.
