In China, we usually cook fish in whole, which means we eat fish with bones and need to spit out fish bones while eating fish. We get this skill when we are young, because we love eating fish. However, my daughter is not good at spitting out fish bones, especially tiny ones. Further, she claims that she is allergic to fish and that it makes her eczema worse, though there isn’t any proof. In contrast, my mom firmly believes kids need to eat fish as much as they can because eating fish stimulates brain development and function and it boosts memory. So I inevitably witness arguments between Grandma and granddaughter at the table regarding eating fish. In the end, my mom makes adjustments. She removes bigger fish bones and grinds fish with tiny bones in a grinder, and then makes fish balls from ground fish. She makes fish ball soup for Isabella, so that Isabella gets some brain-boosting fish. It works to a degree.
