Brief Answer:
yes you can
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Fish contains good amount of protein and dha.
You can give the inner flesh every day
No problem.
But if any of your family members have history of wheezing or skin allergy avoid fish for 2 years of age.
Otherwise you can give safely.
Make sure there are no sharp fish bones inside which can be missed sometimes during cooking.
