With the exception of eel, all ingredients are very low in saturated fat. The shellfish, and white fishes have minimal amount saturated fat (as well as saturated fat), and accounts for their lower calories.

Next come the red fishes, or mainly tuna and yellow tail. Salmon, tuna belly, and the blue fishes (mackerel,gizzard shad) have higher caloric value due to their high unsaturated fat content, and they are the most beneficial fish that you can eat to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system since they lower cholesterol levels.

Sushi calories should not be given too much concern. All around, they are all healthy, if eaten moderately. An average person should be satisfied with about 10 pieces of nigiri, or 400 calories at the most.
