    Tuna was recommended by my nutritionist as one of the healthiest low-fat fish. He made me a menu for weight loss. That's why I always thought it wasn't oily. Now I read that it has a high concentration of heavy metals, and I'm a little confused. 
    Anyway, I wouldn't consider tuna in sushi a portion of oily fish.
    Be careful of people calling themselves nutritionists, its not a protected title, anybody can call themselves one regardless of their training or qualifications. 
  • there is not enough fish in sushi)) you need to eat more fish additionally

    I quite like mackerel, either the  chilled fillets (smoked or peppered)  or tinned in mustard sauce. 

    I like smoked salmon too😋 but, I believe, any salmon is rich in Omega 3 so you could just buy fillets or even tinned pink salmon which is quite good value. No fish is cheap but there are cheaper ways to get your Omega 3 than smoked salmon. This is a mse thread after all.😉
    Please note Mackerel is excellent but must be eaten within 3/4 hours of catching to be at it's best
