I would assume that sardines would be similar to anchovy...not that I know what an anchovy is. They make fish oil out of anchovies, sardines, salmon ..the "oily type fish". Eating any oily fish will do..just small oily fish are likely to have less other toxins..like mercury. I eat sardines in olive oil. I err on the side of caution and steer clear of soy oil. A tin usually lasts me 3 meals..don't know if I'd want to eat more, sure feels like enough, lol. Just eat the amoun you are comfortable with.
Just checked..my tin says 105g..so that is 35g...and I have NO idesa of what that is in ozs., lol..so I have no idea if near enough....Here's an old link I'd saved
http://www.cfs.purdue.edu/extension/foodsafety/anglingindiana/NutritionalContentofFish/omega3.pdf
says canned sardines per 100g (almost a tin)..have 1.4g of omega3..or 1g DHA+EPA..so looks like every can gives just over 1g (DHA+EPA)...I really think this is probably enough for a week. The amount taken in the link you gave is, IMO, hugeAny side effects from just the fish? How are you going?
