Introduction: When it comes to Omega-3 fatty acids, many people might not be very familiar with them. However, a large number of studies have proven that they are beneficial for the heart, can enhance memory, and improve mood. This fatty acid, especially EPA and DHA, is most abundant in fish oil. Most methods of supplementation are through taking deep-sea fish oil capsules. However, the most delicious and healthy way to supplement Omega-3 fatty acids is still through food. Let's take a look at the five types of seafood with the highest content of Omega-3 fatty acids. Using them for "supplementation" is more effective than fish oil capsules.
First place, Sardines. These slender, silvery small fish can be eaten fresh, dried, smoked, or pickled. Tomato sardines and onion sardines are both very delicious. Each 3-ounce (85g) serving contains 1950mg of Omega-3 fatty acids.

Second place, Salmon. With small scales, few bones, orange-red flesh, and a delicate and delicious texture, salmon is a classic for sashimi. Wild salmon contains even more abundant Omega-3 fatty acids, with 1060mg in a 3-ounce serving.
Third place, Tuna (canned). The flesh of tuna is purplish-red, similar in color to beef. It is rich in heme, low in fat, and high in protein. Tuna is often used for fillings, noodles, and salads. Each 3-ounce serving contains 900mg of Omega-3 fatty acids.

Fourth place, Mussels, also known as green-lipped mussels. They have a delicious taste and are rich in various amino acids. They can be stir-fried, mixed in cold dishes, or used in soups. Each 3-ounce serving contains 700mg of Omega-3 fatty acids.
Fifth place, Rainbow Trout. It is widely farmed in our country, has a lighter color than salmon, and a crispier texture. The most common ways to cook it are grilling, stewing, or braising, and it can also be made into sashimi. Each 3-ounce serving contains 630mg of Omega-3 fatty acids.
