Seafood & kids?

Question

How old must a child be to eat seafood?

Answer 1

NO WAY!  I am a kid and when my parents take me to seafood, I won't eat!

Answer 2

It just depends.  It is good to introduce it early because if you wait until they are older, they tend to not like it or want to refuse even trying it.  However, a lot of ppl are very allergic to seafood, so just have some benadryl on hand or make sure you are able to take the child to a hospital if something does happen.

Answer 3

They like balls.

Answer 4

There isn't exactly a set limit. However, many parents tend to stay away from seafood for the childs first couple years simply because so many people are allergic to seafood.

So it depends on when you are willing to take the risk and find out if they really are allergic to seafood or not.

Good Luck!

Answer 5

You can start them out as young as you wish, but the best way is to start them out on something mild. Avoid shellfish like shrimp, lobster and crab till they are older because many people have allergies to them.

Answer 6

Never heard such a question. Been eating it all my life. When you're from Maryland like me you don't remember learning how to open a crab because you were too young.
