Fishin’ in the Dark: Omega Fatty Acids

Posted by Staff on January 11, 2024 - 6:00am

By Sarah Lysinger, Student Pharmacist and Karen L. Kier, Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU Healthwise Team 

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band released their song Fishin’ in the Dark on June 7, 1987 and it hit number one on the country charts both in the United States and Canada.  The American country rock band started in 1966 in Long Beach, California. Several artists covered the song written by Wendy Waldman and Jim Photogio. Kenny Chesney released a cover of the song with the title You and Me Go Fishing in the Dark. After Garth Brooks recorded his cover version in 2005, the number of downloads of the original song certified it as platinum.  

For those who know the lyrics, you realized the song is not really about fishing or even counting the stars at night.  It is too bad they were not fishing because the science about the benefits of fish in your diet is advancing.
