A delicious recipe for your baby that is quick, easy to make and super delicious too. These fish cakes are perfect for baby led weaning and also make a great baby finger food recipe too.

Fish cakes are a great way of getting your children to eat fish. You can switch up the type of fish too. I’ve used tuna and salmon and both were delicious. I usually tend to buy whatever fish is on offer which is great! Then make up a ginormous batch and freeze for busy days, or just lazy days.

Worried about fish and bones?

Honestly, don’t be! I ask my local fish monger in Dunnes Stores to take all the bones out and he does it SUPER quickly! It totally puts my mind at ease when giving it to my baby. With hake and cod you can also feel bones with your fingers too, so just have a feel and remove any you find.

These fish cakes are:

  • Nutritious
  • Healthy
  • Easy
  • Deeeeelicious!
