Answers:

My 2 year old and 4 year old join us in eating salmon at least once a week. Both have been eating fish (mostly salmon, cod, and a few other white fish) since 15 months. Just about any fish is fine for a 3 year old - just avoid the ones with a lot of bones (choking hazard) and those with suspected high levels of mercury (shark, swordfish. muscle, etc).

We avoid "breaded" fish sticks or pre-processed foods - if kids acquire the taste for healthy food early on, there is no need for unhealthy taste diffusers.

Hope this helps.
