Fish is an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 is s important for brain health which is even more important important for growing kids who are constantly learning! It's also excellent for those with joint pain as omega 3 is excellent as an anti-inflammatory.
Oily fish like salmon, mackerel, sardines, anchovies & herring are the best sources of omega 3 but they're also quite strong flavoured fish & while I do like them, my family does not. I'll keep trying them with these fish but until they enjoy them as much as I do, I'll keep up the fish serves with tuna.

I also added parmesan to ours...it's not traditional to add cheese to a fish dish but we like it!
