And an abundance of small fisheries in the Pacific Northwest have created a new category of canned fish available at specialty stores and via the Internet. Eating fresh or frozen salmon and tuna are good ways to obtain omega-3s, but for an easy and economical alternative, consider canned fish.

MERCERSBURG - A line of thunderstorms Thursday evening that brought flooding rains and hail to parts of Franklin County also decimated the fish population of Johnston Run when downpours washed manure into the waterway.
