Fish Fingers - Ok or *really* bad?

Neither DH or I eat fish so we started both of our kiddos on it at about 9 months with tinned tuna.

I used to make a basic tuna mornay and just pop into little containers and freeze. They'd have it with rice or pasta.

Lots of omega 3's in tuna and salmon - deep sea, oily fish are very high in them.

Also try sardines, great for the Omega 3. My 2 love them on toast.
Also if you are buying tinned fish try and get it in water as opposed to brine/oil as it is better for the little ones.

I'll have to have a look at the Tune next shop - I assume they mark what their soaking in? The tinned stuff is ok? Anything I should look out for or stay away from? I figure it's probably easier to try a tin or two to see if she likes it before I go looking into cooking it myself.

Haydies, with tuna and salmon from the tin, you don't even need to cook it. My boys used to like tuna in a sandwich at that age. Or even just on a spoon on it's own. Or of course tuna or salmon patties, mornay, bake etc. So many options!

DS has the odd fish finger - I get him the Great Grimsby ones so I know the fish source and that sort of stuff, but I like them and he eats what I do. I usually get him breaded fishcakes (from KNOWN sources) with potato in because he won't eat chips (I know, bad Mama for offering but he won't eat them, only hand-cooked wedges, jackets or mash, even roasties are out some nights). I'm picky about my fish sources but then I come from a fishing area.

DS also LOVES salmon to bits!
