Background: Fish is considered an important food because it includes main nutrients (proteins, fats, and ash) micronutrients (vitamins minerals). The assessment of fish nutritional content data may offer crucial recommendations regarding freshwater consumption preserving human well-being. Aim: Evaluate the safety quality properties Nasser Lake fish, Aswan, Egypt. Methods: A total 250 samples, 50 each Nile tilapia, perch, Zander, Catfish, Elephant-snout, from Lake, Egypt; beheaded, eviscerated, filleted, minced for determination proximate analysis, amino acid, fatty acids, minerals heavy metal, histamine content, cholesterol sensory assessment. Results: analysis showed that all samples examined were good protein sources, with mean values ranging 15.92% to 22.89%. perch exhibits highest levels acids acids. Heavy metal concentrations varied considerably among analyzed a significant variance in detection metals fish. findings show low species, accordance those set by National Food Safety Authority (NFSA) European Union Commission (EC). Accordingly, are accepted based on their properties. Conclusion: high value have excellent supply
