The Smart Snacker's Guide to Omega-3s: Wild Salmon Jerky

When it comes to smart snacking, most people look for protein, low sugar, and clean ingredients. But there's one nutrient that often gets overlooked—omega-3 fatty acids. Found mostly in fatty fish like salmon, omega-3s are essential for heart, brain, and joint health. And thanks to Fable Fish's wild salmon jerky, getting your daily dose of omega-3s has never been easier—or tastier.

What Are Omega-3s, and Why Do You Need Them?

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats, meaning your body can't produce them on its own—you need to get them from food. The most beneficial types, EPA and DHA, are found in oily fish like salmon. They help lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation, improve brain function, and support cardiovascular health. Most people, especially those with modern diets, don't get enough omega-3s daily.


That's where omega-3 snacks come in—and Fable Fish wild salmon jerky leads the pack.

A Wild, Clean Source of Omega-3s

At Fable Fish, we use 100% wild-caught sockeye salmon from the pristine waters of Bristol Bay, Alaska—a region known for its sustainable, science-managed fishery. Sockeye salmon is naturally rich in omega-3s and full of antioxidants like astaxanthin, which gives the fish its deep red color and powerful anti-inflammatory benefits.


Every bite of our jerky is crafted not just for protein, but also for omega-3 potency. That's because we don't just use the fillet—we leave the skin on each strip, which preserves even more marine collagen and omega-3 content. It's real nutrition from a whole-food source.

Why Fable Fish Jerky Is the Ultimate Omega-3 Snack

Each 2-ounce bag of Fable Fish jerky offers:

  • 31g of clean protein

  • A rich source of EPA and DHA omega-3s

  • Zero artificial additives or preservatives

  • No added sugars, gluten, or dairy

  • Shelf-stable convenience

Our jerky is slow-smoked using natural alderwood and seasoned with clean, simple spices—resulting in bold flavor without overpowering the fish's natural richness. Choose from three signature flavors:

  • Sea Salt – clean and classic

  • Teriyaki – sweet, savory, and family-friendly

  • Sweet Chili – a smoky kick with balanced heat

Whether you're looking to improve your heart health, reduce inflammation, or just snack smarter, Fable Fish wild salmon jerky delivers omega-3s in a form that's both delicious and practical.
