Can I get the necessary omega 3’s during pregnancy from eating Long John Silver’s?

Author: Okay, so I really don’t like fish very much, but I can stand the batter dipped fish from Long John Silver’s. Do you know if their fish has any nutritional value (omega 3 fatty acids are supposed to be really good during pregnancy) or where I can find this information? Thanks!
Wtfcats – I know, this is my second pregnancy, and I never worried about any of that before, but now people are telling me that I need to eat fish when I don’t really like it…. I may try the eggs though, because i like eggs (with bacon of course!) Thanks to both for your responses!
And I am taking my prenatal vitamin still, so I suppose I just shouldn’t worry too much then.

buy eggs enriched with them… i dont know what everyone is all nuts about this now, they didnt even know about omega 3’s and omfg eat this while pregnant back in the 80’s and earlier and while some of those 1990’s kids are a little special most of the earlier ones are fine.
EDIT: Bacon does kick ass, alone or with eggs. Note be sure to find eggs that actually say Omega 3 added… i know some are available
I think you are better off sticking to your prenatal vitamins. There are good omega 3s and bad ones… just like that are good and bad fats. Something fried and battered and 40 grams of fat is not going to be good for your body or the baby, but it might taste darn good to you.
The most omega 3’s will be found in salmon and herring… not the white fried fish at long Johns… but I love them too!
My prenatal vitamins have it in them. They sell the supplements in the store as well. So unless you are just trying to be silly here you don’t need to eat fatty fried foods to get Omega 3 fatty acids.
im sure it has it in it, also eggs are a good carrier for omega’s or what I did was buy orange juice that was fortified with omega 3 and 6, I bought PC brand, I know there are other brands as well, also margerine can come fortified as well. im sure it’ll be fine with the amount your getting. best luck
Probably not, fast food has most of the nutritional value leeched out (but daaaaamn does it make you feel good while you’re preggers ;-;).
Be careful eating fish though, you run the risk of mercury crossing the placenta. I don’t eat it more than once or twice a week and just take a supplement to make up the lost omega-3’s.
No as their fish are farm raised; and therefore fed soy. It’s that way with most fast food fish.
