Omega-3 fatty acids are present in most species of oily, cold-water fish, including salmon, halibut, herring, tuna, grouper, cod, pollock and flounder. According to the American Heart Association, shark, swordfish, tilefish and king mackerel also contain omega-3 fatty acids, but their high mercury content makes them unsafe for consumption.
