It's already being done. Horizon organic milk has DHA and Omega-3 added from algae products. "While some DHA is derived from fish, we use only plant-based, water-extracted DHA": http://www.horizondairy.com/products/milk-plus-dha-omega-3/w...

I have a fish allergy that makes me a bit nervous to take fish oil. I tried fax seed and stopped after reading about its ineffectiveness. How much milk should I be drinking for the Omega-3 benefits?

Edit: let me be specific. According to the web, each serving of this milk contains 32mg DHA Omega-3. The fish oil recommendation seems to be 3 grams of fish oil. How do these equate?

You have been able to buy it at fancy health food stores for several years now.

You can already buy several different kinds of algae-derived omega-3 DHA supplements on Amazon. But the best deal there is Ovega-3, which at $0.29 per pill is about twice as expensive as fish oil.
