Step 1
Choose the types of fish that are packed with omega 3 nutrition. Omega
3 fats can be found in salmon, herring, halibut and tuna. These
so-called "fatty" fish provide excellent omega 3 nutrition.
Step 2
Eat your greens. Dark, leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale are
chock-full of omega 3 nutrition. Many seasonal vegetables, such as
winter squash, also contain omega 3s.
Step 3
Cook with oil containing omega 3s. Oils made with polyunsaturated fats
are excellent sources of omega 3s. Cook with olive oil or canola oil
to boost your omega-3 intake.
Step 4
Find flaxseed. These omega-3-rich seeds are available in oil form, and
you can also purchase them whole. Many health-food stores carry
flaxseed cereal, which tastes great and is good for your health.
Step 5
Go straight to the source. Omega 3 supplements, also called fish-oil
supplements, provide the recommended daily dose of omega 3 nutrition.
These affordable capsules are available at most heath-food stores and
at many drugstores nationwide.
Tips & Warnings
Frying fish in butter or excess oil turns it into an unhealthy choice.

Wonderful post Khyati!
I'd add that you will want to watch the heat that you cook your fish
as well....As with all good oils, high temperatures can damage the
delicate Omega 3 structures within it.
