What foods contain Highly Unsaturated Fatty Acids (HUFAs)?

Just like the title says, I was wondering what foods contain Highly Unsaturated Fatty Acids (HUFAs), or, how would I be able to supplement them with the food?

Selcon supplement has hufa in there. Raw shrimp, squid, salmon, and scallops are some I can think of off hand that have hufas. Not the preserved kinds though don't want to add that to a tank.

Thank you so much! I think the fish would like a good snack of Squid and Scallops time to time. So I should look out for the preserved HUFAs, and if they do contain the preserved HUFAs, I should ditch them since the preserved ones can be deadly?

What I mean is to avoid the preserved frozen stuff on sale usually. Contains phosphates, and other salts used for preservation. Raw is good though.

Oo okay, thanks! So checking things like the seafood section at markets would be a good idea?
