You actually need omega-3 for your brain cells so they function properly.

Omega 3 Content of Fish by Season

Eating fish is a good way to get beneficial omega 3 oils. Nutritionists and doctors usually recommend eating fish 2-3 times a week.  Some people prefer to use nutritional supplements because it is difficult to determine if one gets enough omega 3 fatty acids from eating fish.  This is because of the variability in the omega 3 content of fish by season, location and species.

Deep water sea fish, such as salmon, are the highest in omega 3 oils.  There can, however, be as much as a 300% variation in the omega 3 content of fish by season.  At the beginning of the migrating season, salmon are rich in omega 3 oils, but they do not eat while migrating, so by the end of migration, they have depleted their fat reserves.

That is one reason why many people prefer to use a fish oil supplement.  By relying on a supplement instead of eating fish, they can be assured of getting a consistent, therapeutic dose of omega 3 oils.

Some people prefer to use fish oil supplementation because they do not like fish.  Oily fish, the kind that has lots of omega 3 oils, can taste especially strong and “fishy” and unpleasant to some people.

Another way to get around the variation on omega 3 content of fish by season is to use plant sources.  Flaxseed is the best plant source of omega 3 oils, especially alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).  The amount of omega 3 oils in plant sources is quite consistent.  100 grams of raw flaxseed predictably delivers 22,800 mg of ALA. 

Eating fish has nutritional benefits, and it continues to be a good food choice.  Using fish oil supplements or flaxseed or other plant sources is, however, a more reliable way to get predictable amounts of omega 3 oils in your diet.
