Twelve Scomberoides commersonnianus with mean weight 30±0.63 kg were caught from Larak Island (Persian Gulf). Samples were divided into three groups, and the muscle samples were taken, being homogenized completely and transferred to laboratory using ice for chemical analysis. This study was evaluated the nutritive value of Talang queen (Scomberoidescommersonnianus), as one of the valuable constituents in man’s diet, caught from coastal waters of Larak Island, in Persian Gulf. Crude protein, crude lipid and moisture content of tested specimens were found 20±0.85% , 6.32±0.42% and 71.44±0.19% (wet weight), respectively. The results of this study showed that meat of Talang queen is a good source for both essential amino acids and essential fatty acids. The major amino acid detected were glutamic acid, lysine, lucine, aspartic acid and valine with the percentages 5.9 mg/g, 5.8 mg/g, 4.8 mg/g, 4.6 mg/g and 3.6 mg/g, respectively. Total unsaturated fatty acids were determined as the major constituent (54.47 %) of the whole lipid content. The dominant unsaturated fatty acids were oleic acid, docosahexanoic acid, ecosaterianoic acid and ecosapantanoic acid with the mean of 21.4±0.55%، 11.12±0.62%، 3.35±0.18% and 3.3±0.13%, respectively. The dominant saturated fatty acids were palmitic acid and estearic acid with the mean of 36.32±1.24%, 8.66±0.59%, respectively. The content of unsaturated fatty acids belongs to ω3 (17.09%), ω6 (6.44%) and ω9 (21.4%) were measured. Thus, Talang queen fillet could be considered and introduced as a valuable source of food for consumers and fishing industry and dieticians.
