I do not believe that you can take too much. Your body will induce beta-oxidation in peroxysomes, and use the excess as fuel. But why would you want to burn it as an energy source? It's too expensive for that.
It's just my speculation, but induction of the metabolic destruction of EPA may be behind the lack of effect seen in antidepressant augmentation with ethyl-eicosapentaenoate at 2 and 4 grams/day, when compared to just one gram per day. In that sense, you maybe *can* take too much, but only as a waste of input.
