Do you have any nice fish recipes which are a success with the dc?

[bibbitybobbityhat]

Apart from salmon. Or fishfingers .

I'd like to make something they'd really like with fish.

Was thinking goujons, maybe, or some sort of baked fillet with ???

Any suggestions very welcome ...

My dc also like:

• pan fried lemon soles
• trout, sea bass, any kind of fish really, in the oven... I usually put: fish, olive oil, herbs, lots of olives and stick it in the oven.

• red mullet in tomato sauce with cous cous? (mine don't like cous cous though )

My DD (21 months) loves kedgeree......dead easy to make and it always gets scoffed quickly.

This is nice and easy..

Get a couple of ramekins, put some chopped up tomatoes in the bottom then chop some smoked haddock into small chunks and drop them in, right to the top.

Cover this up with double cream and sprinkle cheese on the top. Bake in the oven for approx 20 mins.

So yummy....

My children like smoked haddock chowder. I think I got the recipe on here......I'll just have a peek

Fish pie is always a winner

its very similar to the one on here but not quite the same.

I fry onion in butter, add diced potatoes, cover with stock and simmer for about 20mins, then add chunks of smoked haddock and prawns and sweetcorn, simmer for another 10-15mins and serve with crusty bread. Sometimes I add milk if it needs it. Everytime I make it its different so try it a few times.

kedgeree is great too

i poach some fish (cod,salmon whatever i have) and put in a ramekin.
then add some lightly cooked broccoli (or other veg would work well), add some cheese sauce and top with mashed potato. bake.

sounds like a lot of faffing but i usually have some mashed potato in fridge from another meal, lightly cooked broccoli too. cheese sauce i sometimes make or buy little dish cheese sauce for pasta bakes.

alternatively salmon with some lemon juice squeezed over and baked in oven, served with potato/veg. not really a "recipe" i s'pose!

Sorry sorry where are my manners? Thank you for these, they ALL look lovely. I can be a bit conservative with food for the dc because I fear getting cross with them if they don't like something I've slaved over. So just to know some children somewhere love these dishes gives me confidence.

Thanks again .

Here is something REALLY simple

Frozen cod/haddock/coley fillet
Cook as per microwave instruction
Make a white sauce (add chopped parsley if that would go down well)

Voila

Mine love that with mash (normally do broc or peas with it)

god I so wish my ds would try a creamy sauce

he hates milk and anything creamy-pisses me right off

loves fish though but preferably with breadcrumbs on

Much as I hate to champion Annabel Karmel (particularly after the salt-in-the-ready-meal debacle) her 'Grandma's Gefilte Fish Balls' are a real winner with my DS (who's 2.5yrs).

Get about 500g of white fish (pollack, cod, haddock etc) and mince it in a food processor or blender.
Finely (very finely) chop an onion and saute with butter til transparent but not browned. Add to the minced fish, chuck in a dessertspoon of sugar and a beaten egg (add the egg in stages as you might not need it all - the recipe's no good if it's too mushy) til you get a consistency almost like a solid mousse.
Then roll it into little balls and roll in flour / breadcrumbs / polenta. Cook them by frying in butter for ten minutes. Yes, there's added sugar (which is why my DS likes them) but they're pretty healthy.

Fish chowder (not with smoked haddock, too strong for DS); 'cheesy fish' (coley with cheese sauce); anything with prawns/seafood (eg pasta with tomato sauce and prawns, or risotto with prawns chucked in).

I generally cook meals that I'll be eating anyway, then if DS (2.5) doesn't eat them I'm not too fed up. I tried cooking special meals for him once or twice, and got v fed up when they were rejected - so we just eat together now. I think the turning point was when I cooked him something that he rejected when he was 1.5yrs, got myself an arrabiata sauce and prawns for my pasta - and he ate that instead!

Mine like prawn stir-fry too

(just veg, prawns, noodles and a splash of soy sauce atthe end)

the novelty factor always goes down well with mine, so why not try getting some chopsticks that are easy to used attached together at one end. make some rice (jasmine is good as it sticks together). Add some cooked whatever you have - prawns, small pieces of fish, carrots, sweetcorn, broccoli etc... serve in a bowl and voila! (give a fork too so when they get into it they can gobble it up!)

Wilt a bag ofspinach leaves and put in dish.

Putfish fillets on top,(cod, coley,salon etc)

Pour over a cheesey, mustardy sauce and bake.
