Health Benefits – Fish provides a healthy meal choice for adults and children.  Australians are lucky enough to have some of the best fish in the world available both fresh and frozen.  Fish is an excellent source of Omega 3 fatty acids, is high in protein and low in fat. Fish Oils can help to reduce the risk of heart disease, asthma in children and cancer of the prostate.

Which Age to start at - Fish can be given to children who are able to eat solid food.  However caution should be taken with all food and if allergies are present please seek advice from your doctor before introducing fish into your diet.
