The "Nutrition Action Health Letter" (NAH) of June 2004 (published by the Center For Science in the Public Interest) gave the following info on the content of omega-3s in salmon:
"8 ounces of raw salmon cooks down to 6 ounces."
OMEGA-3 CONTENT "Wild Salmon: 3000 mg in 6 oz cooked" "Farmed Salmon: 4500 mg in 6 oz cooked" (farmed is also much higher in toxic PCBs) "Smoked Salmon: 2700 mg in 6 oz cooked. According to an analysis conducted by the industry group Salmon of the Americas for NAH, smoked salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fats. The 10 products tested ranged from 270 mg to 740 mg per ounce. Government numbers suggesting that smoked salmon has lower levels of omega-3s are based on 2 samples that were tested several decades ago."
