why do i need to eat a fatty fish
Regardless of your theoretical conversion rates, when the serum levels were assayed:
"The proportions of plasma long-chain nâ3 fatty acids were not significantly affected by the duration of adherence to a vegetarian or vegan diet. This finding suggests that when animal foods are wholly excluded from the diet, the endogenous production of EPA and DHA results in low but stable plasma concentrations of these fatty acids."

Now, again why should I add fatty fish to a healthy plant-based diet? i bet you can't

The point is fish in the diet is proven healthy and I haven't read anything to refute that. What you are doing is working for you but that doesn't disprove all other information.
Proven healthy for who? For meat eaters? Substituting fish for meat is always the healthy alternative.
