I belive Dr. OZ said fish. My husband doesn’t eat fish, so I reckon walnuts and other nuts are excellent as well.
FISH
tuna
salmon is excellent too
excellent source : OILY FISH ( cod , salmon, trout, eel and tuna), bt since you’re a vege … these are out of the question….
other excellent source: nuts(pecan, hazel and walnut ) , flax seed(bread and pill forms), sesame oil, prime rose oil , olive oil and etc…(used these oil without heating them as heat will ruin the goodness of these oil), Kiwi , blue berry , black berry, rasp berry , milk and herds (sage)
Fish is *not* the only source of omega3. Flax seed oil is a fantastic source of omega 3. You can buy flax seed oil supplements from health food stores and chemists. It is made from plants so it’s OK for vegetarians & vegans. Other excellent sources contain fresh nuts, seeds, legumes and avocados.
Best Vegetarian source for Omega 3,6, & 9 is Hemp and Manitoba Hemp Milk and Hemp Butter are both brilliant sources and available. Hemp provides not only the Omega’s but extraordinary amounts of protein. Nature’s Path has cereals that incorporate it. IsaCrunch is another hemp product which has had its nutrition boosted by the addition of Isalyte Minerals. You can learn more about by checking out www.bettesos.isagenix.com. I like to add it to salads and baked goods.
Flax is second on the list but frankly it is hard to digest.
Natures Path also has cereals and other products that incorporate it and there are dried cracker like products of seasoned flax seeds. Of course there is also flax oil but I find its flavor to be nasty.

omega-3 is better.
For Omega 3: There is mayonaise, linseed oil, linseeds, walnuts, walnut oil, Canola, Rapeseed oil, Wheatgerm oil and soybean oil.
For Omega 6: There is Safflower oil, Grapeseed oil, Sunflower oil, Walnut oil, Soybean oil, and Corn oil.
Flax and hemp seeds contain more omega 3 LFA’s than any other organism. Unfortunately all the research taking place is comparing fish oils to meats and not these vegetable sources of omega 3.
Why? Maybe I’m cynical, but it seems the fishing industries need to do all they can to give people a reason to buy their product, when it is so clear that they have overharvested most stocks in most areas of the world, so many consumers are avoiding this unsustainable industry.

Omega 6 are found in vegetable oils http://www.annecollins.com/dietary-stout/omega-6-fats.htm
but it is the balance between these two (as well as omega 9) EFA’s which is essential to excellent human health.
