Kids and fish

[clarencealvin]

Ya of course she won't allow to eat fish..

Hayden basically eats whatever we are having as we blend down the food into eatable chunks and then give it to her.

She loved Fish from the first time we gave it to her. Especially when it is cooked in Milk just like Zak33 recommended.

Saying that, she is a hungry baby and she loves eating fullstop

Get used to it, Cameron is 6 and he still eats us out of house and home, doesn't put a single ounce on in weight either. Kid's just don't know the meaning of being full that is all

Oh I'm used to it

I've been like that for 31 years now. I was exactly the same as a baby myself and the other day my mum dug out my baby photo and Hayden is a spitting image of myself as a baby, including the same dimples and chubby cheeks.

Keep meaning to try this:



recipe 1: (from Terry Pratchett's excellent "Nanny Ogg's Cookbook"):

SERVES 4

150g long-grain rice
125ml milk
125ml water
450g smoked haddock
50g butter
1 tablespoon mild curry powder
2 hardboiled eggs, chopped
salt and pepper

ADD THE RICE to a saucepan of boiling salted water and cook until al dente - about 15-20 minutes. Drain and rinse it, and leave in the strainer.

In a frying pan heat the milk and water to simmering point, add the fish and poach gently for about 5 minutes. Lift out the fish and carefully remove the skin and bones; break up the flesh into medium-sized pieces. Discard the cooking liquid.

Melt half the butter in the frying pan, blend in the curry powder, add the flaked fish and warm the mixture through. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped eggs. Season with salt and pepper.

In a separate pan melt the remaining butter, add the rice and stir well to coat the grains. Season, then add this mixture to the fish and eggs. Mix well.

Serve on a warmed dish. Then go out and conquer a continent.

Haddock usually but I reckon pollock/coley (same thing) would be just as good and not an overfished species (haddock is listed on International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources as "vulnerable", which I didn't realise until recently assuming it was less eaten than cod so should be fine :/ classified same as cod, for reference) - usually tastes just as good anyway when I've eaten it before. Can buy very easily in supermarkets now as a lot are starting to catch on that people don't want to make such a lovely thing extinct

The kind of thing you need to plan ahead and get up really early for, or have a butler. Victorian era food, stuff empires are made of.

RE: Sustainable fishing, this is a really good film: http://endoftheline.com

Also thought it was worth reposting this one too:

oily fish is particularly nutritious because it contains high levels of the fatty acid, omega-3. Various studies have shown that omega-3 can help prevent heart disease, improve IQ, improve immune function, may help improve symptoms of arthritis, and can help with certain skin problems.

But oily fish tend to contain higher levels of contaminants such as mercury than white fish so The FSA [Food Standards Agency] has advised a limit to the quantity of oily fish that we should eat. It recommends that girls and women who might have a baby one day, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, can eat up to two portions of oily fish a week. Other women, men and boys, can eat up to four portions of oily fish a week. In addition, marlin, shark and swordfish are not recommended for consumption by boys or girls under 16 or by pregnant women or women who may become pregnant in future.

As said before, sad that we have come to this where food from our vast oceans is mildly poisonous.

Having fish in the diet may increase the eye sight at the same time may increase the mental ability of the child,So to have fish weekly once may increase the health...

Living on the coast we've always given the kids plenty of fresh sea fish & shellfish. They love fresh Crab, Oysters, Welks, Mussels & Cockles, most of which we collect ourselves. Plus a goodly helping of Samphire & Seaweed.
