Interesting fact: A standard hot dog is small by weight, but the bun and toppings can double the finished serving.
The answer: Typically, a hot dog weighs about 45 to 60 grams (1.6 to 2.1 ounces). The exact weight depends on size, variety, preparation, brand, and how much edible or non-edible material is included.
Meat and fish weights depend on trimming, bone, fat, water loss, and whether the portion is raw or cooked. A realistic range helps with grocery buying, recipe scaling, protein planning, and avoiding over- or under-ordering.
