Maybe it's just me (I'm not even lumping other Kitchn editors into this one), but I think omega-3-enhanced eggs taste fishy when cooked. There are some reasons why this could be the case, and I'm wondering if anyone's with me...
As we all know, omega-3 fatty acids are good for your heart and promote brain health, which is why egg producers jumped on the bandwagon to get this elixir into their hens (and, therefore, the eggs).
Some farmers feed their hens flax seed (which, from my experience, also has a slightly fishy smell); others add kelp or even fish oil to the hens' diets. So it's not really much of a mystery why there might be a fishy taste.
I don't notice it in baked goods, but if I eat a plain egg or scramble some into a stir-fry, it's there. Which is why I try to buy organic eggs that do not have the added omega-3.
Am I overly sensitive? Does anyone else detect a fishy taste or smell from omega-3 eggs?

I'm a bit ashamed to say this on AT kitchen but I couldn't possibly taste the 'fish-flavor' in eggs since I always eat my scrambled eggs covered in ketchup...
no not at all---but then I get the vegetarian ones so there is definitely no fish oil in them
The vegetarian eggs?
Just the other day we were eating some omega-3 eggs and my wife who is pregnant asked if i thought the eggs tasted fishy. I couldn't really tell, but her senses have been incredible lately.
I don't find the eggs fishy, but the pan afterward. And my kitchen.
Eat 'em all the time. Never tasted or smelled anything fishy.
Yes, now that you mention it...I actually threw out a hard boiled Omega 3 egg after I thought it smelled a little funny.
Ok, staying the heck away from these, then. I HATE fish. And Marie-Eve, eggs with ketchup rocks! Especially over sticky rice. Mmmmm.
The vegetarian ones feed the hens only vegetable products and not animal products----a lot of disease gets transmitted by animals eating animal waste so I'm all for feeding them veg although they are typically omnivores. They have to supplement with stuff like flax so there is enough protein which leads to the omega-3s which I think may have originated in this type of egg, at least that's the first place I saw it.
We too use eggs from flax-fed vegetarian hens and I have never noticed a fishy taste or smell. I do fin the shells harder as a result of the better diet.
I've only ever had the flay-fed ones (which are clearly marked as such), and have never noticed a fishy smell or taste...
(flax can go "off" rather easily I think, which is why it might smell)
I eat them regularly but never noticed a fishy taste.
No, I've never noticed this at all. I say stick to pastured eggs whenever possible and this issue will be non-existent!
The chickens who produce omega-3 eggs are fed a vegetarian diet enriched with algae or flax to impart ALA (alpha linolenic acid, a type of omega-3). So, the chickens aren't fed fish, and fish oil isn't actually in the eggs.
With that said, you're not crazy -- ALA (and other omega-3s like DHA and EPS) do have a mildly "fishy" taste. This has actually been a real challenge for food manufacturers trying to get omega-3s into their products -- they've found consumers don't like the mildly fishy taste. Some people have a more sensitive sense of taste; they're generally "super tasters."
But I agree with Risa Kate - stick with pastured eggs. They're much better and more natural; eggs weren't meant to have ALA to begin with.
I haven't tried the eggs, but I did try some omega-3/dha pregnancy supplements and they tasted a little odd to me. even though they were vegetarian, they tasted a little fishy.
I must be a "super taster" because I had to throw out some Omega-3 enhanced peanut butter due to a fishy undertone. I haven't tried the eggs yet, but I guess I'll stay away.
I have been having trouble eating eggs in anything but omelets with cheese and lots of veggies lately, because I have been tasting a bizarre flavor in the plain eggs. Now I am sure it must be the Omega-3, and I can do some experiments and hopefully eliminate my problem all together! Thanks!
