Choose fatty fish with dark flesh or muscle. The depth of their colour represent the oil amount present. Lean fish are pale and their liver contains the fat unlike the muscle where fat is present in fatty fish. Salmon, tuna, mackerel, seer, back pomfret, hilsa, katla are some fatty fish.Shell fishes are very rich in omega despite cholestrol content.Select fresh fishes instead of canned ones and choose low fat cooking method instead of deep frying. Grilling, steamin,poaching and baking are preferable methods.Having fish directly benefits more, instead of supplements for fish oil.
