1. A method for making a lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) composition with a high content of EPA and DHA from a marine raw material containing phospholipids comprising treating the marine raw material with a phospholipase that is not native to the marine raw material to provide a phospholipase treated raw material and fractionating the phospholipase treated raw material to provide an LPC composition characterized in comprising from about 20% to about 100% LPC w/w of the composition and an omega-3 fatty acid content of from 5% to 50% w/w of the composition, a ratio of EPA:DHA of from 1:1 to 3:1 on a w/w basis or a ratio of DHA:EPA of from 1:1 to 5:1 on a w/w basis, and a 2-LPC:1-LPC ratio of from 1:8 to 18:1 on a w/w basis.
