Does it matter whether its plant or fish oil for omega 3?

I'm sure I saw something that said there was a difference. Not well at the time with my brain being so fogged up... sure I've heard there is a difference..
Plant omega-3 is different, but is converted in the body, to the same form as found in fish. However there is some debate about how effectively this conversion takes place, you can find a wide variation in possible results.
So, basically, fish better, plant maybe okay.

Anything healthy!
I use omega fish oil daily but not because of diabetic reasons. I had a hip replacement due to osteoarthritis in 2012 and my doctor said that omega fish oil is the best thing to take to keep everything in working order. I havent felt any benefit in taking them.
