OMEGA-3 oils are "essential" lipids - which means they are vital to our health but our body cannot make them, so we have to eat them. There are three types, called ALA, DHA and EPA. ALA can be obtained from Olive Oil, but the other two come from oily fish. Sardines and mackerel are a wonderful source of Omega-3 oils, as are wild caught salmon. These fish obtain the Omega-3 oils from the algae (seaweed) they eat. However, most salmon available in our supermarkets are not wild, they are farmed; and farmed salmon do not eat algae. They are fed on corn, or cereal pellets, so they contain little to no Omega-3 oils. It is therefore advisable to include sardines in your diet on a regular basis, or take an Omega-3 oil supplement.
