New parents are always thinking hard about what food is healthy for their baby. In Hong Kong, it can be quite overwhelming as there are lots of miss-marked labels and consistency is hard to find. In addition, for parents looking for the security of knowing where their fish and meat come from, this can prove to be challenging.
The good news? We chatted with South Stream Seafoods, a trusted seafood and meat delivery company in Hong Kong, about their recommendations for what babies should eat.
Packed with all 9 amino acids and other wonderfully healthy nutrients, fish is awesome for babies' growth, vision and brain development.
In Hong Kong, it's important to make sure you're buying fish from reputable sources. You want to look for countries that have strong regulatory policies in place, such as Australia and New Zealand. What else should you look for when buying fish for your baby?
4 Tips For Buying Fish For Infants:
1. Choose fish that are high in Omega fatty acids like salmon. These fatty acids are important for cognitive and behavioral functioning, plus they are crucial for healthy skin and a healthy immune system.
2. Avoid large fish such as tuna and swordfish. They contain higher levels of mercury and other minerals which may harm your baby's nervous system. Tuna is also not recommended for little kids, pregnant and breastfeeding moms.
3. Pick fish that is sourced from the cleanest places where sourcing policies are strict and secure. South Stream Seafoods is a great place to buy fish in Hong Kong as they mainly source from South Island of New Zealand and Australia.
4. Buy boneless fish wherever possible as they are best and easiest with infants. Prep fish by mashing it and then visually checking for bones. You should also feel it with your fingers to be sure.

Meat is another important food group in a baby's diet to help them gain protein, iron and also zinc. Iron is key to the healthy development of babies' brains, and iron from meat & poultry is most easily absorbed by humans. If you're trying to introduce meat, chicken is an ideal choice because it has a milder taste and so is very versatile in meals.
