One of my favourite meals to make with my children is fishcakes. Not only are they fun (but messy!) to make but they are also a great way to introduce children to different types of fish.
They are really hands on and tactile plus there are some great jobs for children to easily manage themselves; scooping out and mashing potatoes, flaking fish, grinding pepper, sprinkling, mixing, forming, breadcrumbing, chopping too if you want to take it there…
