Re: Fish Oil
[ QUOTE ]
is fish oil necessary if you eat a lot of salmon (say a pound a week)?

I don't think that a lb is that much. I would say that it can never hurt. Most peoples diets are so out of whack, esp. the amount of omega6 you get in relation to omega3, that you will almost never be running a surplus of omega 3, or too much fish oil. Like everything, you can overconsume, but I think that is on the scale of 10-20g of fishoil/day. When most people take no more than 4g a day if they are lucky. So short answer, don't worry about it. I try and eat a lot of omega 3 enriched food and don't change my fish oil intake based on my diet...
