Shellfish
Many types of shellfish are good dietary sources of iodine as they absorb some iodine that is naturally present in seawater. For example, shrimp, as well as being a good source of protein and many nutrients, is relatively rich in iodine. Additionally, shrimp provide vital nutrients such as phosphorus, vitamin B12 and selenium.
Shellfish such as oysters are also relatively rich in iodine, but their iodine levels will depend on the seawater iodine levels where they are harvested.
