Fish are great food, don't give them up. However, DHA happens to just be one of many Omega-3 fatty acids, ALA is just as good and happens to be 6 times more abundant in flax seed:

As always, a balanced, well-thought diet without crazy extremism will do wonders for your health
Alternating fish and flax oil in different days is great!
