"You want to make sure you're eating omega-3's with eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA, and docosahexaenoic acid, DHA," she says.
"Because that is the most potent and beneficial form."
Foods that contain this type of fatty acids include wild salmon, herring, sardines and rainbow trout. They're packed to the - ahem - gills with omega-3 and guarantee you'll get the nutrients you need.
And for those who worry about the mercury in fish, there are options. Wild salmon, sardines and rainbow trout tend to have the lowest amounts of mercury.
"With fish, mercury is always concern," says nutritionist Steven Margolin. "But the benefit you get from eating the fish outweighs the exposure to mercury."
But fish aren't the only option for your omega-3 fix; there are plenty of other foods, including fortified eggs, yogurt and bread.
"I consider fortified eggs a secondary source of omega-3, right under fish," says Bauer, who adds that walnuts and soybeans are also a great source.
Margolin, who owns the Manhattan wellness center Longevity Health, likes flaxseed. "It's the purest form of omega-3 - when we eat flaxseed oil, the body changes it into EPA and DHA, which is what you get from fish." To get the benefit, flaxseed needs to be ground and added to food or used in the form of oil - "although that tastes kind of nasty."
And then there are the supplements.
