Just thought I would mention something that I recently learned from my sister (a nutritionist).

Flax oil works better in women than in men. Men should take fish oil instead. I don't know the reasons why, but I can find out if anyone is interested.

I'm curious. Since stepping away from strict vegetarianism, I've been eating fish regularly, but taking flax seed in the morning shake. Wondering if my fish intake would negate the need to consume fish oil.

If you are eating fish, you don't need to take fish oil. Also, you probably don't need the flax either (on days you have fish).

As a rule of thumb, you only need one serving of the following per day (choose one):
-Fish
-Fish oil
-Flax
-Nuts (ie: handful of almonds)
