SUMMARY:
This document gives a table of common foods which
contain the healthy omega-3 fatty acids. As you can see,
a large number of these sources are nuts, seeds, and seafoods.
In general, flax seed oil taken daily is the best
way to go. But, if you can, it's a pretty good idea to
supplement with other omega-3 sources.
I personally am a big fan of pumpkin seeds, and
walnuts. I also usually consume salmon, tuna or trout
2-3 times a week.

Here's a list I have:
Flaxseed 57%
Chia Seed 30%
Hemp Seed 30%
Pumpkin Seed 15%
Canola Oil 10%
Soybean Oil 8%
Walnut Oil 5%
3.5 oz of fish mg of Omega-3
Anchovy 747
Salmon, chinook 633
Herring 606
Mackerel 585
Tuna, albacore 337
Halibut, Pacific 194
Cod, Atlantic 93
Trout, rainbow 84

She also says the highest concentrations of O-3 is in north Atlantic
sardine oil (at 18%, compared with 9% for salmon).
