Hong Kong Style Chilean Sea Bass

What's in the Hong Kong Style Chilean Sea Bass?

At 680 calories per serving, the Hong Kong Style Chilean Sea Bass represents about 34% of a 2,000-calorie daily intake. On the macronutrient side, roughly 42% of those calories come from protein, 42% from fat, and 16% from carbohydrates — a profile typical of Eddie V's Prime Seafood's Entree section. Sodium is often the line to watch with sit-down chain entrees, and this dish delivers 1810mg, or about 79% of the FDA's daily reference value. If you're watching salt, pairing the Hong Kong Style Chilean Sea Bass with a side salad (dressing on the side) and water rather than a sweetened beverage is the standard mitigation. Like most items at Eddie V's Prime Seafood, the dish is built for shareable portions and is plated at restaurant scale rather than a strict single serving. Boxing half of it before you start is one of the simplest ways to bring the per-meal calorie load down meaningfully without giving up the experience.

How this fits a 2,000-calorie day

One serving of the Hong Kong Style Chilean Sea Bass supplies 680 calories, which represents roughly 34% of a 2,000-calorie reference day. That is a moderate restaurant-portion meal — generous compared to a home-cooked plate but not at the upper end of the chain's menu. A side salad or a smaller appetizer can round it out without pushing the day over budget.

The macronutrient split lands at roughly 42% protein, 16% carbohydrate and 42% fat by calorie share — a useful frame because raw gram counts often understate how much of a dish's energy actually comes from fat. Protein delivery is meaningful here at 72g per serving, which can keep satiety high relative to carb-heavy or fat-heavy alternatives.

Sodium clocks in at 1810mg, or about 79% of the FDA's 2,300mg daily reference value. That is on the higher end for a single restaurant serving. It still fits a normal day if other meals are light, but two restaurant meals in a row at this sodium level will add up quickly.

Allergen profile

Fish Soy

The Hong Kong Style Chilean Sea Bass is flagged for Fish and Soy in the chain's posted allergen panel. Soy normally arrives via soybean oil used for frying or via soy lecithin in commodity sauces, both of which are common across the casual-dining segment. Fish-derived ingredients can appear in unexpected places — Worcestershire-style sauces and Caesar dressings being the classic examples. Cross-contact in a shared kitchen is always possible, so when in doubt, ask the floor manager.

How it stacks up against the casual-dining category

Across the 146 Entree entries we track in this category — averaging 791 calories and 1,869mg sodium per serving — the Hong Kong Style Chilean Sea Bass at Eddie V's Prime Seafood sits roughly 14% lighter than the category average. It also delivers 59mg less sodium than the typical Entree item we list, which is the more useful number if you're cross-shopping menus on the way to a reservation.

Ordering strategy

If the Hong Kong Style Chilean Sea Bass is the entrée you want, the highest-leverage adjustments are usually the ones that change the surrounding meal rather than the dish itself. Because the entrée itself is moderate, you have headroom for an appetizer or a starter side without dropping into restrictive territory — useful for a longer dinner where the goal is to stretch the meal rather than minimize it. Sauces, dressings and finishing oils are routinely the largest hidden source of calories on a casual-dining plate; getting them on the side gives you direct portion control without changing the dish you actually want to eat.

The bottom line

The Hong Kong Style Chilean Sea Bass from Eddie V's Prime Seafood is a moderate entry on the chain's menu at 680 calories and 1,810mg of sodium per serving. Protein delivery is strong, which is the dish's most useful nutritional feature. Anyone tracking sodium specifically — including most people on blood-pressure medication — should weigh this dish against the chain's lower-sodium options on the same menu before committing.
