What fish can a 1-year-old eat? There's so much conflicting information online.

Your confusion about which fish are safe is completely understandable — there really is contradictory information online. The general rule for a 1-year-old is: low mercury, easy to bone, well-cooked fish are preferred.
Fish you can safely start with: sea bream, bass, salmon (farmed or Atlantic), sardines, anchovies, horse mackerel, cod, rainbow trout, flounder, halibut — these have low mercury risk, are nutritious, and have firm flesh. Fish to avoid: swordfish, shark, tuna (canned light tuna can be given occasionally, but stay away from large tuna or albacore), large Atlantic mackerel, king mackerel — these tend to accumulate mercury.
The key: cook fish in steam, baked, or with minimal water; cook thoroughly; remove every single bone; then serve as a puree or in small pieces. About 2 servings per week (each serving roughly 30-40 grams) is ideal. If there's a family history of fish allergy, start with a small amount the first time and watch for 3-4 days for any reactions.
If you have specific questions about fish types in your area or family allergy history, I'm here to help with that too.
