What's the cheapest omega-3 rich fish?

[Tiamat]

Costco has Wild Sockeye Salmon for 9$ per pound.

BTW, dunno if this is true of all fish oil pills, but the couple I have tried make you have real bad taste in your mouth if you burp.

Digests better, contains other important vitamins, in natural form instead of highly concentrated synthetic form.

Salmon is the best fish for omega-3, but you can also find it in flax seeds and walnuts. More here:

Sure, but the OP's trying to save some money. Many people aren't that crazy about fish either. Fish>pill>nothing :^)

When you eat them. don't puncture the pill, it tastes pretty bad.

They usually go on sale every other month for $3 less.

Yeah, I think I paid about $7 a bottle the last time I bought those.

Shop somewhere else? Usually my local grocery store has wild caught salmon for under $8 per pound. Also, I'm not sure if it's wild or farm raised, but Aldis has a really good per pound price on salmon. We purchase it there about every other week and have always been pleased with it.

Cheapest fish per pound: Get a fishing license & go catch some rainbow trout.

Does this help?

Here's some tips when buying fish oil pills. To test the freshness of fish oil pills, bite into the pills and taste the oil. Fresh fish oil should not taste or smell extremely fishy. It should have a very light fish smell/taste to it. If it is extremely fishy, chances are its gone rancid/bad and has little nutritional value.

Here's some good brands:
Carlson's Norwegian fish oil liquid in lemon flavor (expensive but good quality)
Pure Encapsulations fish oil pills (performs an assays on all their products to ensure quality)
Kirkland enteric coated fish oil pills (pretty decent fish oil pills for the person on a budget)

To keep fish oil pills and supplements fresh and have a longer shelf life, stick them in a fridge.

BTW to not hijack this thread and to answer the OP's question... Try some fish oil pills.
