A 3oz Catfish fillet has about 0.3 grams of Omega 3. 70% more would be a total of 0.51 grams. Not bad but I’d rather eat another ounce of Catfish. I eat about 4-5 Salmon fillets a week and they can range from 1.1 to 1.9 grams of Omega 3.

Whoops. I made an error. I was comparing a cup of egg to an ounce of tilapia.
A 6 ounce tilapia filet would contain about 360 mg Omega 3.
A farmed catfish filet contains about 732 mg Omega 3. (Wild is slightly more).
A carp filet contains about 1535 mg Omega 3.
1/2 of a salmon filet (about the same size portion as a full filet of the other fish), contains about 4,961 mg omega 3 (farmed) or 3,996 mg wild. Why farmed salmon gets such a knock by the press I have no idea.
A single egg contains about 61 mg omega 3, though there are varieties now which contain upwards of 300 mg, due to the diet of the chicken.
