Humans survive on quite a wide range of dietary fat sources and composition. I stopped supplementing with fish oil after realizing there’s lots of “science” and few facts.
Is there any actual clear link between dietary DHA and serum DHA? I’m guessing no. Humans survive on quite a wide range of dietary fat sources and composition. I stopped supplementing with fish oil after realizing there’s lots of “science” and few facts.

Fish is not the only source of DHA. Walnuts, acai berry and flaxseeds are also good sources.

When you eat oily fish you are eating the same oil that is expelled and inserted into a capsule. So how is the form changed?
Chelation. When you concentrate the oil you can remove impurities there are a lot of in fish. In particular, Mercury and I think Cadmium too impede and reverse myelination, making taking fish oil for the nervous system benefits almost counterproductive.

Twice as much omega-3 means eliminating olive oil, soy, most nuts, and many other foods. Or, alternatively, downing a pint or so of flax seed every day.

There has to be, since humans can't make it themselves. (Assuming that's true.)

Going by this review, I would say that supplementation does work:

The only good vegetable source of DHA is some types of algae. The foods you listed contain alpha-linolenic acid, which the human body can convert to EPA and then to DHA, but this is an inefficient process and might not always meet the full requirements for those longer chain omega-3 fatty acids.
