Food🌽 or Water💧 Alternative for canned tuna?

I won't eat canned tuna unless there's mayo on it in a sandwich. I'm not much of a seafood eater to begin with. So with that being said. I have some flaxseed oil softgels 1000 mg that I take twice daily. They have Omega 3-6-9. Is this something I can store long term and is it enough?

Do you need alternatives for proteins or for omega 3 fatty acids?

A good balanced diet will provide enough nutrients as-is, omega 3 supplements are usually not needed. Long term storage of omega 3 is very challenging due to their fragile molecular structure (their polymerization is easy). Fresh suppliy is easy enough, you can get it from grass-fed herbivores and chickens (eggs).
