Omega-3 Insights Magazine: Algal-Based Omega-3s
Beyond dietary intake, the consumption of fish oil products was the go-to omega-3 source for many years. Alternatives such as krill and flaxseed oil entered the market, but left a void for vegetarians or those seeking long-chain omegas. Algal oil fills that void, providing eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), depending on the source. Although the market is in the early…

If You're a Vegetarian, What are the Options for Omega-3 Fats?
There's no better source of omega-3 fats than krill oil, but what do you do if you are a vegetarian or are allergic to shell fish?

You also have flaxseed oil, even flaxseeds but you need to eat a ton of them to get enough omega-3 fats. Walnuts are also high in omega's, but the problem with both of these is that men don't convert them into essential fatty acids very easily, neither are older people.
So, you have other choices like leafy green vegetables and hemp seeds, which are great sources. I've also read about people thinking that they're getting their daily amounts of omega-3's from peanut butter. I don't know who advised these folk on peanut butter and omega-3 fats, but they've got it completely wrong.
Peanut butter is high in omega-6 essential fats, which as the name suggests, are 'essential' for life. But, the body requires more omega-3 EFA's for normal functionality, than it needs 6's. So, bewared of peanuts.
