Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Some foods don’t have a lot of carbohydrates, such as meat, fish, poultry, some types of cheese, nuts, and oils.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fish and other seafood tend to be incredibly nutritious and healthy. They’re particularly high in B12, iodine, and omega-3 fatty acids-all nutrients many people don’t get enough. Like meat, almost all types of fish and seafood contain next to no carbs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Note that unless cooked with flour or another ingredient that contains carbohydrate, fish itself, as a protein, does not contain any carbohydrate.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fish flesh contains virtually no carbohydrate. Not so for shellfish. A number of shellfish contain a significant percentage of calories (10 – 25%) as carbohydrate, including oysters, mussels, abalone, whelk, clams, octopus and scallops.
