recently watched the Netflix documentary Seaspiracy which is a real-time loss of innocence tale for an endearing whale, dolphin, and overall ocean lover.

I don’t think this is a spoiler, but an emerging theme of the film is finding plant-based solutions instead of eating fish (and mammals) from the ocean. This included the conundrum of people eating fish to get their omega-3 fatty acids. This essential fat is found in sea life like salmon, sardines, herring, and tuna.¹

But as it turns out, fish don’t organically create these helpful fatty acids known to reduce heart disease risk and lower triglycerides. So who (or what) makes omega-3 fatty acids?¹
