I'm not much of a fish eater, but I have been recently compelled to include more in my diet. I prefer white, mild fish, but the fish I do eat (whiting) doesn't appear to have a high omega three content. Any suggestions for a mild whitefish with high omega threes (not salmon, please) would be great. Thank you.
