I don't want to add things & running out of both above, so do I need replace or just go multi & just good food? I take D3 daily & took K2 to offset it, but I eat fish 3-4x/wk & think Fish oil may be not be needed.
Ok, anyone?
Latest research tells us to take K2 with D3 for best absorption. Go off Omega 3's for a while and see how you feel. If you eat a good deal of fish then don't do both. I don't get much fish and so much fish is polluted anyway.

Ok, you may be right as I may cut back fish to 2x/wk. But still, more than most eat. Trying to go plant based but only eat egg whites, nonfat dairy, & all plants otherwise. Oh, did get a 5lb tub of whey protein (yes, a cow) but it is the ONLY other protein than fish & plants The egg whites also & the nonfat dairy but may cut ALL dairy soon.
If you are going all vegan (it seems you're headed that way) then you should also add vitamin B12 to your regimen. You can't get it (or enough of it) from a vegan diet. I suggest methylcobalamine (sometimes called Methyl B12) which is the better absorbed form of B12 (cyanocobalamine). My wife recently found a great value on this at Costco (and their quality is very good).
There are now some very good brands of plant based protein powders. Check out Garden of Life for example (and I don't work for them).
It is quickly becoming common knowledge that Vitamin K2 and D should be taken together (complimentary mechanisms of action). But you should only take the MK-7 form of K2 (AKA menaquinone-7) and not the synthetic MK-4 (menaquinone-4) form. Lots of science supporting MK-7 - in particular the MenaQ7 brand of vitamin K2.

MK-4 occurs naturally in processed dairy. You can get it naturally by drinking milk or eating cheese. Not in large amounts but at least it can be part of your daily routine - unless as you say someone is going 100% vegan.
From my reading it seems MK-7 is most needed. I reordered some MK-7 this wk & will continue on it. I still use fish oil (found a large bottle I forgot I had) & take 2/day. I eat fish 3x yet per wk. Ok, thx again for these replies so far.

This is the first time I have heard that MK-4 occurs naturally in processed dairy products. In fact fermented cheeses are a good source of MK-7. The early human studies tracked K2 consumption from this food source. If there are references to MK-4 naturally occurring in processed dairy products I'd appreciate seeing them. There is always something to learn!
