Fish meals for babies

Fish baby meals: omega-3 and enjoyment from 6 months 

Fish is another great source of animal protein for babies. Often seen as “complicated to cook” at home (bones, cooking, smell), it suddenly becomes very simple when found in a ready-made recipe, already balanced for babies. And nutritionally, it’s a real gem. 

Fish, a partner in growth 

Why fish is valuable in babies’ diets: 

• High-quality protein: comparable to that of meat, but with a slightly milder profile. 
• Essential omega-3s: particularly in oily fish (salmon, sardines), which are essential for the development of the brain, nervous system, and vision. (Source: https://www.anses.fr/fr/content/les-acides-gras-omega-3 ) 
• Iodine: for thyroid function, which plays a role in cell growth and maturation processes. (Source: https://www.anses.fr/fr/content/iode-pourquoi-et-comment-en-consommer)  

Fish can be introduced from 6 months, alternating with meat and eggs. Small quantities at first (10–15 g between 6 and 8 months), then gradually increase. 

Why our fish dishes are different 

At Good Goût, we are passionate advocates of taste, and it starts with sourcing: 

• MSC-certified fish from sustainable fishing: an international label that guarantees fishing that respects stocks and marine ecosystems. This is our exception to the all-organic rule (wild fish cannot be organic by definition). 
• The rest of the recipe is organic: vegetables, starches, fats. Everything we can make organic, we do. 
• Steamed cooking (for the bowl): gentle, preserving omega-3s and flavors. 
• Short recipes, without flavorings or thickeners: the taste of fish, the taste of vegetables, and that’s it. 

Our selection of fish baby meals 

Two main types of fish in our recipes, to vary nutritional profiles: 

• White fish: Alaska pollock, mild, with a subtle taste, perfect for first tries. You’ll find it, for example, in the Cauliflower, Potato and Alaska Pollock Mash. 
• Oily fish: salmon, with a stronger flavor and richer in omega-3s. Elevated in the Parsnip, Kale and Salmon Stew, in bowl format. 

Available in a flexible pouch or bowl depending on the product, with textures that match your baby’s progress. 

How to incorporate fish into baby’s meals? 

A few guidelines to follow: 

• 1 to 2 servings of fish per week, alternating with meat and eggs. (Source: https://www.anses.fr/fr/content/manger-du-poisson-pourquoi-comment)  
• Alternate between white fish (pollock) and oily fish (salmon) to vary nutrients. 
• At lunchtime preferably, like other animal proteins. 
• Before age 3, avoid species high in mercury (swordfish, shark, certain tuna). Good news: these are not the ones we use in our recipes. (Source: https://www.anses.fr/fr/content/manger-du-poisson-pourquoi-comment)
