Not a big fan myself, but looking for something healthier than fish sticks or shrimp scampi for them to get the omega3's.
Not a big tunafish sandwich fan myself - so wont be making that. Looking for other suggestions of what we could try. Such as a milder one - thats not so "fishy"

Atlantic salmon and other fatty, preferably cold-water fish, including herring (both Atlantic and Pacific), sardines, Atlantic halibut, bluefish, tuna, and Atlantic mackerel.Surprisingly, venison and buffalo are both good sources of omega-3s .Canola oil, flaxseed, flaxseed oil, walnuts, and leafy green vegetables such as purslane are all good sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the plant-based omega-3. A quarter-cup (1 ounce) of walnuts supplies about 2 grams of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, slightly more than is found in 3 ounces of salmon. There are also omega-3 enriched eggs
My son is 11 months soon to be a yr and he eats salmon, tuna {not from a can he eats it grilled} and trout .He also eats shrimp anyway but breaded and loves crab, crawfish, squid, clams, oysters {fried} and even cuttlefish
Walnuts are also very high in Omega 3s as is flax seed

My 2.5 year old loves the immitation crab meat! He is picky lately and on a whim had him try it, now every time we pass the seafood center at the market he asks for crabbie. It is made of mostly white fish and it is a little sweet, I think that is why he likes it. You can serve it cold, it maked a good finger food. Good luck.

boiled snow crab maybe? you pick the meat out depending on how old they are. just reg old sauteed fish in the pan with butter and lemon juice is good. crab cakes? maybe a shrimp pizza?
any fish that's FRESH will not have that fishy smell, that said stick with thin white fish like flounder, tilapia, or basa. things like swordfish and tuna are too thick and fishy for me also.

My kids, like me, eat just about all of it fresh, but won't touch anything canned.
If you want something mild, anything flaky and white would be best - catfish, flounder, tilapia, snapper. Make sure to get filets, they are usually already off the skin and the skin is what makes it taste fishy. You can do all kinds of things with fish filets - fry it, broil it, grill it, basically anything we've tried with chicken we've also tried with fish, just adjusting the cooking times.

My girls love any and all seafood. In fact, they have rather expensive taste for lobster and crab. We are also big sushi eaters. I think they especially love it because it does not taste anything like seafood or raw fish. They have eaten it since they were very young.

My 5 year old daughter will eat any seafood and ask for more - fish, shrimp, crab, lobster -- even oysters....
My 2 year old son - picky, picky eater... finally told him that fish sticks were "Crabby-sticks" that Spongebob made and he gobbled them up!

My kids eat salmon (I wrap it in Phyllo) and calamari (they think it's chicken).
