General pediatric advice is to choose fish with lower mercury content.
Safe fish varieties to give: salmon, sardines, trout, anchovies, mackerel, sea bream, and sea bass. These are both low in mercury and rich in omega-3 and protein to support your baby's development.
On first introduction, start with a small amount and serve cooked, boneless, and unsalted. Two servings per week (roughly a palmful per serving) is a good guideline.
High-mercury fish to avoid: swordfish, shark, large tuna species, king mackerel, and tilefish. Canned light tuna is moderate; you can offer it occasionally, not regularly.
