Is Shrimp a good source of omega 3?

I do not like to eat cooked fish, and raw sashimi grade fish must be eaten within 2 days of purchase, but I read shrimp is not that high in omega 3 and you are better off taking an omega 3 supplement then you are buying shrimp for omega 3.

I don't think so, they are high in cholesterol, and they live at the bottom of the sea, where there are all sorts of garbage... so harmful substances outweigh the potential benefits of omega 3.
If you like sea food, fish is always a better source of omega 3, than any type of crabs.

You should try mackrell in tomato sauce, spread that on some hard bread with butter underneath, its really tasty. A good source for Omega-3 no doubt. Or you can try some Swedish pickled herring as we eat in Sweden. It has some other taste but is also really nice on hard bread.

No you need to be eating fresh oily fish for that. Shrimp are virtually fat free, there's more omega 3 in the dipping sauce.
