Best source of omega-3's from fish

Just put out by Seafood Watch, here's the list of best sources of omega-3 fatty acids (at least 250 mg based on consuming 8 ounces per week), contain low levels of contaminants, and are ecofriendly.

  • Albacore Tuna (troll- or pole-caught, U.S. or British Columbia)
  • Freshwater Coho Salmon (farmed in tank systems, U.S.)
  • Mussels (farmed)
  • Oysters (farmed)
  • Pacific Sardines (wild-caught)
  • Pink Shrimp (wild-caught, Oregon)
  • Rainbow Trout (farmed)
  • Salmon (wild-caught, Alaska)
  • Spot Prawns (wild-caught, BritishColumbia)

So let's eat more salmon fish tacos and feel good about it!
