Sardines are one of the best sources of omega-3 fats!
Sardines are a great source of omega-3s and also contain a lot of other essential vitamins and minerals. Sardines contain 1.8 g of omega-3 fats per 4-oz. serving. Sardine oil contains even more, with 1 Tbsp containing 3.7 g of omega-3s. Canned mackerel and canned salmon contain slightly more omega-3 fats, at 2.2 g per serving.
