Fish oil is better than flax. Flax is fine if you are allergic to fish, but it won't give you the same amount of useable Omega 3.

In America, a lot of beef and chicken is grain fed, so even if you are not eating grains, you are still getting Omega 6 in your meat. And you'll get plenty of Omega 9 in your olive oil. Unless you eat salmon every day, I'd say the only one you really need to supplement is Omega 3 via fish oil.

That sucks about your collarbone.
