Who's taking fish oil supplements?

They were prescribed for me when I was getting eye surgery (for example) because the omega-3 fat acids are supposed to improve healing and reduce dryness.

They are also supposed to improve heart health and lower the chance of a heart attack. Edit: sorry, forgot to add that this article blows that up though.
