Is Fatty Fish worth prioritizing?

Omega-3 fatty acids from fatty fish are supported by meta-analyses linking higher intake or blood levels to lower cardiovascular disease risk, alongside reviews on cognitive protection. Weighing that against the numbers, Fatty Fish is not a priority based on current data — the evidence is only moderate (52/100), and its estimated impact (50/100) is on the lower end too.
