Flax seed oil is a good alternative to fish oil. It has Omega 3 and you need only about a tablespoon of it daily. Flax seeds can also be ground and mixed in with something you're eating. Quote from Wikipedia article:

Quote:
Flaxseed oil is suitable for human consumption, if it is very fresh, refrigerated and unprocessed, and is used as a nutritional supplement. It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, especially alpha-linolenic acid, which appears to be beneficial for heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis and a variety of other health conditions. Flaxseed also contains a group of chemicals called lignans that may play a role in the prevention of cancer.
