Why do you need those supplements in the first place? If you have high triglycerides and you need those, you can change your diet to low calories diet (low carb and saturated fat) and increase exercise time. If you are healthy otherwise, you do not need supplements. Fishes are good sources of omega-3 but some specific types, not all of them.
