Sushi is great....but most shellfish is too chewy raw. Yellowtail is my favorite.
Regarding feeding picky kids...one thing that worked for a friend of mine was to keep serving them whatever they wouldn't eat at the next meal. If they wouldn't eat meatloaf for dinner, the plate would be saved until breakfast, heated up and served again. Once the kids figured out they weren't going to get something they liked at the next meal, they got hungry and ate.
I never had to resort to that but did have one really picky kid. She's 16 now and eats pretty darn well. I can only attribute that to continuing to serve a large variety and allowing her to try things when she wanted to.
