Just drop some into your shake and count it as part of your allowed EFA's intake. Don't heat it or cook with it, once it has been heated it becomes a bad fat. Canola oil is another one you might like to try, again have it cold only, do not heat it. Alternatively Flaxseed oil or Emu oil are good too.
Good fats are basically the naturally occurring, traditional fats that haven't been damaged by high heat, refining, processing or other man-made tampering such as partial hydrogenization. The best of those are found in fish, nuts, avocados, seeds and, believe it or not, fresh creamery butter.
Refined vegetable oils such as you find in the average supermarket are definitely "bad" fats. They oxidize easily and have been processed with high heat, which removes all the good stuff, such as vitamin E. Extra virgin cold-pressed olive oil, however, is a "good" fat.
Unfortunately, some of the best fats, such as flaxseed oil and fish oils, can't be used for cooking because they respond badly to high heat. If you must cook with high heat, you're better off with something such as peanut oil, coconut oil or even lard; they are far more stable. Of course, not cooking with very high heat would be the best of all
Fats are often described as being saturated, monounsaturated or polyunsaturated. Each has different properties. In general, the monounsaturates (such as olive oil) are good for you, but again, processing and high heat can void that statement.
