The
American Heart Association’s recommendation is to
consume at least two 3.5 oz fish meals per week to
reduce the risk of CVD, with an emphasis on fatty
fish (i.e., salmon, herring, mackerel, sardines) to increase
EPA and DHA [6]. A total of 1 gram per day
of EPA plus DHA from a combination of higher
omega-3 fatty acid- containing fish and supplements,
if needed, in individuals with established CVD [3,5,6].
