Good food habits start early
Mackerel can be an easy and flavoursome way to introduce fish as a natural part of family meals.
Learning about different flavours and ingredients from an early age can help establish varied eating habits. Making fish a regular part of everyday meals can support habits that continue later in life.
Mackerel naturally contains protein and omega-3 fatty acids. As part of a varied diet, fish contributes with a range of naturally occurring nutrients, which is why official dietary guidance recommends eating fish regularly.
Mackerel in tomato sauce is also convenient for busy days. It can be served on bread, included in a packed meal or used as a simple ingredient in small dishes.
For the youngest children, always follow current official guidance on age, variety, and choice of fish. Mackerel can be introduced with care as part of a varied diet.
