A fish curry recipe is a favourite of all age groups. However, when feeding your baby or toddler, ensure he/she doesn’t have any proven seafood allergies. Feed fish very carefully fed to your baby. Not just the bones, but mercury levels and allergens are causes for concern. Stick to fish like Cod, Sole, Pomfret, which are low in mercury levels and are relatively safe to feed your child.
