Is it OK to give an 11 month old fresh swordfish?

[Roskva]

Probably an idiot question, but I assume it's not going to hurt her?

No it'll be fine.

thanks!

I wouldn't. It's very high in mercury, and the food standards agency does not recommend it for children. Sorry. I love it.

ooops

Tuna is too though isnt it?

No, not as high and it is considered OK. Shark, swordfish and Marlin have very high levels because of their place in the food chain.

Ah well there you go.
Have just learnt something new there

I remember eating loads of swordfish on Greek holidays before I knew it was dangerous. I regret it now.

Oh well, dd will have to have something boring from a jar for tea, while we tuck into the swordfish. Sometimes I think I take my 'she needs to eat what we eat' theory a bit far anyway . Although having seen a friend's 2 year old happily munch her way through a dollop of anything that was cooked from everyone's plates in a Japanese restaurant, I still think it's the way to go...
