This brochure highlights the benefits of incorporating fish into regular meals for enhanced taste and nutrition. It covers traditional recipes, cooking methods like steaming to preserve nutrients, and the importance of fresh, clean fish. Small fish like mola, chela, and Punti are rich in essential nutrients like vitamin A, iron, and calcium. It also promotes adding fish to vegetable dishes and creating child-friendly options like fish cutlets or fish powder for added nutrition.
