Rosie_0801 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I think dd was eating that sort of thing when she was 2. But she was also stealing wasabi peas out of the pantry, so I suspected a cast iron stomach. Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucy in Australia Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 My DD has been eating it since she was about 18 months old. We were all having it for lunch and someone just gave her some without thinking. OK, it was me :001_huh: I wasn't too worried because she seems to handle most food without problems (maybe another cast iron stomach, here, too :)) and because I know the place we get our sushi from is impeccably clean and the food is always fresh & high quality.

Grover Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I think DD was probably around 15 - 18 months or so... I make sushi quite often so it's always around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nono Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Well, anything cooked or all veggie started at under 1 year. For anything raw, our rule was age 3. Consensus by the two adults, one foreign born Asian, and one domestic born Caucasian. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plink Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Ours all ate it before they turned 2, but i'm very picky about who prepared it/ how it was prepared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom in High Heels Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Indy was eating it by 2. He loves sushi. He always insisted on eating it with chopsticks, and he really likes to eat, so he was pretty adept with them by the age of 3. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She will sit there and stare at it if I don't give her any chopsticks! She so impressed/amused and old gent down the street yesterday that he had to come and tell me how good she was and pat her on the head. :) Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen in CO Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 My girls were between 1 and 2 when they ate raw sushi. They both love it. Their favorite is those orange fish eggs. When they were little, the fish eggs would keep them occupied the whole time I enjoyed my dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I don't know about food safety issues, but if you want a young kid to like it, you should introduce it and start having it regularly by around age 2, I would say. Then you can get it in the window when they'll eat anything before they start cutting back. I wish I had understood that sort of thing in time, because frankly samosas and shrimp jiaozi are not the foods I would have made sure stuck.

mommaduck Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Between 1yr and 2yr depending upon the child and tolerances known within the family. I remember that between the ages of six and nine, my mother would give me warnings not to eat the sushi at fiestas (Guam). I did anyway :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth in MN Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Somewhere between 1 and 2 for my daughter. SHe was a super picky eater, but any sushi ("shoe-she", as she would call it) was gobbled up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donna Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Ha! I seriously read the title and thought you were asking how long you could keep sushi before it went bad. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpe Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 The littlest one has been offered a few time since he was a year, but as of yet has not actually eaten any raw fish. Ha! I seriously read the title and thought you were asking how long you could keep sushi before it went bad. LOL Overnight IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaichiki Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 With raw fish, not just California rolls. :bigear: Around here... 18 months... but we have to be careful with the nori. She doesn't chew it very well yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z2_mom Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 My eldest had it at just under a year. She is 14 now and still loves it. Probably, due to the fact that I craved it constantly when I was pregnant with her and ate it at least twice a week the whole time! My other dd had it later but that was because she had a hard time chewing solid foods. She really did not eat any "real" food that was not mashed until 15 months. I am sure that it followed sometime soon. This child will not touch rolls, only straight raw fish! She does not even like her fish cooked! LOL.

Rivka Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 We start cooked sushi with other early solid foods and raw sushi at two. Because of mercury contamination, we hold off on tuna, yellowtail, and mackerel (also swordfish and shark, but I don't see those offered as sushi) until age 6. I don't eat them when I'm TTC, pregnant, or breastfeeding, either. Mercury scares me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehogs4 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 With raw fish, not just California rolls. :bigear: as soon as possible. My kids have been eating sushi (the real kind) since they were very young, and now, at ages 6 and 10, they love it--even sashimi. their father's side of the family is Japanese, so it would be a bit of a disgrace for them not to like it. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
