Flax and chia seeds are both very good sources of omega 3 (but flax seeds need to be ground for your body to absorb it, and once you grind them, you should store them cold), as are fish (especially salmon).

Omega-3 is a group of several different fatty acids and flax seeds do not provide the ones you actually want.
