Not much discussion going on, as of yet, in this thread... but you're welcome to join what there is...
I just started looking into this recently, & from what I understand, the goal is to get 1,000 mg of EPA per day. The box/bottle should indicate how much each capsule (or teaspoon? for actual oils) provides.
I'm sure that that is oversimplified, but if you search this site, there's more info in other threads - I just don't remember the details just now.
Hope that wasn't entirely useless (or misinformed)... Hopefully someone w/a better understanding of fish oils & omega 3, etc. will chime in.

[btw - the target level that I mentioned is (I think?) related to use in depression. it may be different if the goal is to lower triglyceride levels... sorry, guess I'm not much help to you on this one.]
