It took me a very long time to like fish in general; I didn't start eating it regularly until my 20s. I've been recommending sardines to my patients for years because of their incredible omega-3 and protein content. So, I was determined to find a way to make them work for me. I've actually discovered two ways that I can not only eat sardines but also find them somewhat tasty.

As a Naturopathic Doctor and a mom, I understand the challenges of feeding a little one with dietary restrictions.
