I have been eating lots of oysters and sardines to bump up my omega-3 ratio. Am I negating the benefits by eating sardines and oysters that are packed in olive oil (because the olive oil has a high omega-6 ratio)?

[Edit:

Edit: These are the oysters I am eating: http://www.amazon.com/Crown-Prince-Natural-Oysters-3-Ounce/dp/B000EF3E68.

These are the sardines: http://www.amazon.com/Wild-Planet-Sardines-Virgin-4-375-Ounce/dp/B004VDH4KQ/ref=sr_1_3?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1337782270&sr=1-3.

I also eat fish (salmon, cod, etc.) about 2-3x per week, but sometimes I get bored of it because I'm a horrible cook. (please, no recipes that take more than 20 minutes and four ingredients).

Also, I stopped taking fish oil pills because over time I think they were causing me heart burn/acid reflux issues and (http://paleohacks.com/questions/110294/never-had-heartburn-before-are-the-paleo-gods-mad-at-me#axzz1vhXRbTNI). So I would like to get my o-3s all from diet if possible.

I am focused on omega-3 consumption for depression and preventing/healing injuries from weightlifting.]weightlifting.
