When it comes to introducing seafood to children, it can be challenging to find recipes that won’t scare them away. For a simple fix, we recommend focusing on mild-flavored seafood with a texture more familiar to kids. Shop our seafood collection to find kid-friendly and delicious seafood options that make family meals that much simpler.

Mild Flavored Seafood

Not all seafood has a strong fishy taste. Although this taste often appeals to us as adults, kids are frequently won over by options with a more subtle flavor and texture. Our top contenders for non-fishy seafood include shrimp, white fish, and lobster - options sure to impress even the pickiest of eaters.
