Larry H -- correct me if I'm wrong -- but I think that hempseed oil has a nice balance of omega 3, 6, and 9 that includes precursors of EPA and DHA. I use it (in addition to fish oil), and it has a pleasant, nutty flavor that goes well in salad dressings (it's not suitable for cooking).
It's not widely available and can be expensive, but the best prices I've found have been at www.iherb.com. It's currently being touted as a "miracle" oil (which always makes me skeptical), but really does seem to be beneficial.
