In the last year and a half Carolynn and I have become more health conscious. In that quest we have become more conscious of the amount of omega 3 we consume. We take a couple teaspoons of fish oil a day and eat sardines almost every day to increase our intake of these essential oils.

My understanding is that the omega 3 actually comes from the algae that small ocean fish eat. So the small fish like sardines are best sources of omega 3. Things like salmon are also high.

So my question is, are fresh water fish also a source of omega 3? I realize it is an oil, so oily fish would be a better source, so perhaps catfish?

FHM eat a lot of algae so possibly a potential source? But I would not be interested in cleaning a thousand FHM eek

I tried doing a search but did not come up with much information. Anyone know?

Edit: I did a more recent search and found trout to have omega 3's
