How to offer

Place 1–2 fishcakes on the high chair tray. Always supervise during feeding. At 6 months, fishcakes introduce an important allergen early. Ensure every bone is removed — pass through your fingers methodically. Soft, moist texture is key.

Storage

Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 2 days. Freeze cooked fishcakes for up to 1 month. Reheat in oven at 180°C.

Nutrition note
