Granted, most mums find it tricky to increase their family's intake of fish without making mealtime a nightmare. But although the kids may nag at you, adding more fish into their diets is really important.
Registered dietician and TV presenter Lucy Jones told us that "eating more fish isn’t just about getting enough omega 3 fatty acids - it can also boost the amount of all-important protein in our diets, which can help to maintain strong bones and muscles – as well as reduce our intake of saturated fat (when compared to red meat)."
But is there a fuss-free way to increase your intake of fish? Well, yes - with these six easy recipes....
1. Simple Tuna Fish Cakes
Ditch the burgers and treat your family to some tasty tuna fish cakes instead. As well as being a modern twist on a traditional meal, replacing red meat with canned tuna in brine or springwater can help reduce your family's intake of saturated fat, as this tuna typically contains just 0.1g saturated fat per 100g. Bonus!
