Especially for an uneducated person like me. So please keep providing these kind of stuff that you think it to be efficient to learn the language (Kanjis).
By the way, which Kanji would you use for あぶら when you translate this English sentence into Japanese ? (I am pretty sure you are already aware of this, but this question may be of help for those who read this thread.)
Which one (fish) is the highest in fat ?
一番あぶらが乗っているのはどれですか？
Sorry for my poor English, I hope you could get what I am saying.

I think there you'd use 脂肪酸, which is "fatty acid." This includes polyunsaturated fat, monounsaturated fat, saturated fat, and trans fats.
For a less technical term, Eijiro on ALC seems to indicate 脂身（あぶらみ）:

Or maybe 油脂, which is basically "oils and fats"?
