Omega-3 Fatty Acids Sources... Are these Part of Your Diet?What are the best Omega-3 fatty acids sources? This powerful nutrient is largely found in oily, cold-water fish. Vegetarian, non-seafood sources of omega 3 fatty acids are also available. An alternative is a fish oil supplement.
Salmon is probably the most familiar of the food sources of omega-3 fatty acids. It is easy to find, easily adapts to a variety of cooking methods and seasonings, and is high in Omega-3s. Always choose Wild Alaskan salmon rather than farm-raised. Questionable additives and feeds are used when salmon are farm-raised. There are other beneficial omega-3 fatty acids sources in the fish department: 
Vegetarian food sources of omega-3 fatty acids include:
Walnuts are another yummy non-seafood source of omega-3 fatty acids. Just watch how many you eat! It’s far too easy to consume a lot of calories while innocently snacking on nuts. A small handful is plenty. Two more food sources of omega-3 fatty acids are Omega-3 fortified eggs and the green vegetable purslane. Purslane is considered a weed in the United States, but is regularly eaten in other parts of the world … particularly around the Mediterranean. Possibly a factor in the healthiness of the Mediterranean diet.
Need another source of Omega-3s? Enter Omega-3s in a bottle... aka fish oil supplements. While whole food is always the best source of any nutrient,

If you prefer your fish in a bottle, be sure to choose a non-toxic brand. You certainly don’t want to consume nasty toxins in your quest for healthy skin and a healthy body. One of the brands that I trust, and give to my family, is
Nordic Naturals (Note: always refrigerate fish oil supplements.)
